Answer by  Latin4 (11170)

In Ohio it's 18. But with parents consent is can be 16. Be sure to leave the door always open, because once they get a taste of freedom, paying bills and no home cooked meals or clean clothes they will come home.

In most states eighteen is the the legal age for being considered an adult. To leave before eighteen a teen would need to be emancipated by a court.

It depends on your state of residence, but it is usually l8. Exceptions are made for teenagers who are 16+, if they have a legitimate reason.

I think that most teens leave home around seventeen to eighteen, but I think the legal age is 18 because that is the year of majority. You can enter into contracts, vote, drive and do just about anything once you turn 18, except drink.

Upto 18 of their age they must live in the home. Since it is very safety for them to learn the surroundings and happenings. They also learn how their parents and relatives love and affection towards them.
