In North Carolina can a 16-year-old move out with parental consent and live with a friend of the family?

Answer 1

You can pretty much do anything that's not a misdemeanor or a felony with your parent's consent. If you're asking will a landlord rent to you, the answer is "not likely." Your parents or another adult would have to sign the lease.

Answer 2

You need emancipation first, then move out. The courts will decide if you are old enough to get emancipated, they have a minimum age (15 in many states) but it doesn't mean you can get it. If they feel you are irresponsible, then they will deny you emancipation.

Answer 3

The NC Juvenile Code states that any juvenile under 18 years of age is subject to the supervision and control of their parents. That means the minor's parents get to decide where they live. The exceptions to that are juveniles that are married, serving in the armed forces (both of which require parental consent) or have been emancipated by the court (which is RARELY granted).

Answer 4

If the parents give the minor permission to marry and the marriage occurs then said minor is considered legally emancipated through marriage, regardless of whether they move to another state or not. Minors cannot marry without parental permission, with the exception of a few states when specific circumstances are present. (06/13/09) Why would you want to? It is a statistical fact that relationships involving people who co-habitat and/or get married prior to age 24 have an 85% failure rate. Biologically, this is when females reach full mature on the physical, emotional, and hormonal levels. At this point, a woman is fully prepared to have and handle children, as well as a male that is still not fully mature.

Males don't reach full physical and hormonal maturity until age 30. This is also when they reach their peak emotional maturity, but not to the point of being fully independent. Half of the male emotional health comes from a woman. The biochemical frequency range of the male brain adjusts itself to match that of the female, developing an emotional symbiotic relationship.

Couples who begin cohabiting and/or get married prior to age 24 can find themselves drawing away from each other as each reaches full maturity. Their whole view of the world, and each other, changes. This doesn't happen to all couples, but clearly it is a factor in most relationship breakdowns.

Cohabiting couples breakup three times more than married couples. Cohabiting couples that later marry have a 46% higher rate of divorce than those who did not cohabit prior to marriage. See Link Below

Answer 5

With parental consent, yes. It does not relieve the parents of their responsibilities for the maintenance and support of the minor. Well, you would do yourself and the family your going to move in with a big favor by checking with your county court house for something like this. Parental consent does not override the law and if these people take you in, who is your official guardian and responsible for your well being and welfare until your 18. What happens if some medical issue arises or your arrested who is your legal guardian at this point. Call the court house and ask the age of maturity and if you can move out with your parents consent. What about the high school issue, too? Parents of a minor may give the child permission to reside with a qualified adult caregiver. As noted the parents are still legally and responsible for the minor and it is always advisable to have some conditions in writing but not absolutely necessary for an older child. If the child needs emergency care a phone call to the parents will suffice, if other issues are encountered the parents can be contacted as needed. Authorities will not intervene as long as the minor is in a suitable environment, attending school as required, etc.

Answer 6
