Age a teen can leave home
I am trying to find out what the legal age is for a teen to be able to leave home without parental or guardian consent and how to go about doing this.

Re: Age a teen can leave home
There is no magic age, however any younger than 16 would be fool-hardy. There is emancipation and there are reasons that apply to it. I would suggest before you make that leap of faith you talk to a counselor at school, at church or an older friend who may be wiser than you.
