can i move out of my parents home?

[NatashleyE]

I live in new york state I am currently 16 years old. I live with both of my parents, I am a straight a student on honor roll and take college courses on top of my high school work. I also have a job I work at least 15 hours a week. My best friend also had a job and is 16. Her father has a house that he says we can rent from his for 600. At my home, I provide for myself I pay my phone bill buy all my clothing and buy food for myself. Is it possible my parents can try to make me stay or will a judge allow me to rent as long as I keep my job and stay in school? Thanks much!

No, you will continue to live where your parents say.

OMG. Are you wealthy? The house would be $600 a month. Then you will have utilities -- gas, electric, water, trash. Add easily another $600 a month for that. Then your phone bill. Then food. And renter's insurance. Not to mention clothes, school supplies, cable, entertainment and various other things. Easily could hit $2000 a month. Do you earn that from your 15 hour a week job? Highly doubt that.

Totally oblivious to the actual costs of having her own place. She is not as smart as she thinks she is. Book smart, maybe. Real life smart? Not so much.

As long as you are even one minute under 18, you live where your parents say you live. There is no possible chance that a judge will order them to allow you to move out, no matter what conditions you promise to adhere to. If Mom and Dad say no, it's no.

Only case of successful emancipation I can think of? Drew Barrymore. But she was extremely wealthy and was a "star". Oh wait, Ariel Winter I do believe also got emancipated. Same situation. Wealthy and a "star".

Don't forget transportation.
