Sorry but unless you have enough to have the courts emancipate you, you are stuck with them. |

In the US, it's 18; I believe it's 16 for Canadians. |

18 because that is when you're considered a Legal adult who can make your own decisions. Even though in some cases the kids are more responsible than the parents they live with |

The legal age is 18 because your then considered an adult, and you become your own legal guardian. However, you can legally separate yourself from your parents at the age of 16, provided you can prove to the judge that you can support yourself ie. job, place to live, education. If the judge feels you cant do so then he wont grant what is called emancipation. To get emancipated without parental consent, you have to have a full time job, be able to support yourself (alone I'm afraid, no roomates), and pretty much be able to live with out the aid of anyone. You must not have a criminal record (even a juvenile record). What you are doing, is showing a judge that you can live with no guidance or financial support from your family. I'm afraid you do not get financial aid from your parents, this is why having the job to support yourself is neccessary. So sorry to let you know how hard it is. |

18, unless you get put in foster care or are an emancipated minor
If you are being abused, there are shelters for teens who have run away. If you go to one of those, that can buy you some time until you move in someplace else. Also, there is nothing wrong with calling the police yourself. |

In the beautiful state of New Jersey it is 18. However, if your 17 and your parent(s) sign a waiver you can enlist into the military(if you were so inclined) to do so. One way of "getting away" from your p's. |
