by moving out do you want emancipation? to be treated for ALL purposes as an adult? if so, you need to show the court that you are immediately able to live on your own without state/parental assistance(maturity and financial independence), and you need your parent(s) approval(there are exceptions). you may be able to get a court appointed lawyer to assist you with the process, but i wouldn't expect it. if you just go, and your parents file a runaway report, you are subject to being picked up by police and sent home. there are, in most places, church and community organizations ready to help young adults find their way when family and situations seem hostile. look around for support, and good luck!
