everyone is saying 18 because the federal age is 18, but each state is allowed to make its own laws so it could be lower or even higher.
also emancipation is rarely granted and the process can take a very long time
also remember if you move out because you legally cant but your parents don't want you to, then they'll probably cut you off financially

Well as everyone else has said, generally you must be eighteen, however, if you were to "divorce" your parents so to speak you would have to have a judge legally approve your move. You would need a job and a place to live--you have one of the two...

depends on the state, emancipation is 17 or 18.. if your cousin lives in the same state then it is 17. if you live in different states, just ask a police officer nicely.

The legal age to do anything is 18. So your answer, 18 yrs of age.

Generally, you are not permitted to move out unless you are a legal adult (18 years of age). Until that time, someone has to hold responsibility for you.
