Depends on your state. Google "Moving out at 17" plus your state's name, and you'll find out. I know that in Texas a minor can choose to leave his parents house at 17 and can choose to move out against his (or her) parents will into another home of like a family member earlier than that, maybe 16.

Theres alot of court processing involved in the second, but at 17 you can walk out the front door here and legally your parents can't do anything about it (though, they can't keep you from coming back until 18)

Some states its 17, some its 18. Google will know for sure.

No. If you left, you would be considered a runaway and it could get you into trouble. The only way to leave home without getting in trouble is to get their permission, wait until you're 18 like I did, or emancipate them.

If you can't get their permission and don't wish to deal with emancipation, then you'll have to wait.

No, you're not allowed to just go. Since you're in the custody of your parents, you can't leave until you're eighteen without their permission. The only option for you to move out is to get their approval, or get emancipated. And honestly, at this point, you might as well just wait until you're eighteen because the court process would probably take a while and leave a huge riff between you and your parents. Plus you have to be able to prove that you can 100% afford to take care of yourself. You have to have a place and pay for every single bill and food and everything else you need. You have to have a job that can do this, and I'm assuming you're still in high school. So even if you have part-time job somewhere, that will never be enough money to afford rent on a place, plus utilities, and food.
