FAQs

In Louisiana, a 17-year-old cannot legally move out without emancipation. Until they turn 18, they are still considered a minor and are subject to parental control. Emancipation allows a minor to gain legal independence, but until that status is granted, they cannot make decisions regarding living arrangements without parental consent.
