Since you use the word 'spouse' I'm assuming this means that you are married. This means, since you are only 16, that your parents had to give permission for you to marry (I'm talking about the UK here.) and that they cannot stop you moving out.
From the way you phrase your question it appears that your husband also lives with his parents. Are you sure that you can financially afford to maintain your own home? Rent, water, electricity, gas, council tax etc.? If not, you may find that the strain of trying to cope financially is more than your marriage can bear.
Good luck, but it's not something you should jump into without a great deal of thought.

If your parents gave permission for you to be MARRIED (foolishly) at age 16, then of COURSE you can move out and get your own apartment, however, at 16 and 18, NEITHER of you could POSSIBLY have a good enough job or have WORKED long enough to be making the kind of money to MAKE IT ON OUR OWN.... You not only have to think of the APARTMENT expense which can be expensive depending on the area you plan on living, you must consider the cost of electricity, heat, food, gasoline for the car, medicines, garbage removal, cable for the tv, car insurance, renter's insurance, and lest not forget you will need furniture, linens, dishes and everything that costs money to fill the apartment..... Parents may be a pain to live with but your marriage will be destroyed if you move OUT and can't afford it.
Go ahead and keep the thumbs downs going but I have 57 YEARS of living experience that you haven't even BEGUN to experience--I Think I know pretty well what I am talking about..... do you?

You most certainly can. Your partner is 18 and therefore here in UK an adult with the same rights and responsibilities as me aged 66.
At 16 your parents may still wish to exert control over you, but if you marry your partner, there is nothing they can do beyond that point.

Yes, you can do whatever you want. But I think you should stay in your parents' house until you are a bit older. You will be very selfish to your parents if you move out at this age by causing them to have more worries . Just remember that in this world you have only got one father and one mother and they are part of you. My only advice to you is think before you leap otherwise you may regret it for the rest of your life.

If you are old enough to get married, then you are old enough to leave home, we did, My wife was 16, and I was 18, and we have been together now for 32 years, so good luck.

In the UK you can legally move out at 16, so yes.

the question isnt CAN you,
its SHOULD you.
you dont REALLY know someone until u've
lived w/ them.
who will pay bills? who will take out trash, wash cloths, wash dishes, clean house, 16 & 18 is possible to play house, however the 2 individuals have to be mature enough.

Assuming you are married at the age of 16 - the answer must be yes.
But how stupid of you to marry when you are barely out of your childhood.

If you're married, the 18 yr. old is the
legal guardian, so yes.
