Can a 17 year old move out on her own in Colorado?
Yes, a 17 year old can move out on their own in Colorado as long as they are under the supervision of a court-appointed guardian. This is known as "emancipation." To become emancipated, the 17 year old must file a petition with the court and prove that they are able to live on their own and make responsible decisions. The court will consider a number of factors, including the 17 year old's maturity, financial stability, and living arrangements. If the court finds that the 17 year old is emancipated, they will be granted the same legal rights and responsibilities as an adult.
