Re: Legal age to move out
You do not reach legal age until 18. You do not have the right to chose which parent you will live with in a divorce action. Legal custody will be decided by the court and probably a guardian will be appointed to protect your best interests.
You need to stay home, finish your high school, and consider additional training. The divorce is not your problem. It is your parents problem.
