Can you move out of your house at age 15 in California and how would do it?

No, it is not legally possible to move out of your house at the age of 15 in California. As a minor, you are considered to be under the care and responsibility of your parents or legal guardians. Unless you are emancipated or considered to be legally independent, you are not legally allowed to live away from your parents or guardians until you turn 18.

Becoming emancipated is a legal process that involves being legally recognized as an adult, even though you are under 18. In California, there are two ways to become emancipated:

1. Parental Emancipation: You can petition the court for emancipation if you are at least 14 years old and your parents or guardians voluntarily consent to your emancipation.

2. Judicial Emancipation: If you are at least 16 years old and your parents or guardians do not consent to your emancipation, you can petition the court to become emancipated if you can demonstrate that you are financially independent and have the capacity to make your own decisions.

If you believe emancipation may be an option for you, it is recommended that you consult with a legal professional, such as a family law attorney, who can guide you through the process and help determine if it is the right decision for you.

Alternatively, if your circumstances are causing significant difficulties or if you are experiencing abuse or neglect at home, you can contact local child protective services or youth services organizations to seek help and explore other options for addressing your situation.
