Legal Question in Family Law in Kentucky

Re: 16 yr old that wants to move out

Kentucky does not have a formal emancipation statute. The courts do recognize contractual emancipation if the youth is able to be self-sufficient and the parents agree to them living on their own or with a relative. The problem is that if it turns out the youth was not so responsible after all, the parents could still be found to be negligent. So, you must be confident your child is mature enough to handle things.
