Question

can you legally move out of your parents home at the age of 16?



Answer

The short answer for NY is no. The age of consent in NY is 17 and 18 is the age of adulthood. However. You can go to court to be recognized as "emancipated" meaning you can support yourself and have a job. Sixteen is a little young for that though.
