12 years old is the age where a judge will allow the child to make their own decision. I would suggest outside of a court room 16 would be the age as if a child leaves home then a paren con not do anything about it.

First of all...a lot depends upon who you want to live with and if they can take you in financially and emotionally...but, I think it's 17 in most if not all states...you might have to petition the court for it any sooner...wouldn't hurt you to call your local courthouse and ask for help with your question...they might just be able to refer you. If you're having some bad problems where you now live speak to a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, cousin...you get my drift? (:

When my parents were divorced I was 5 years old, they asked me to choose which one I wanted to live with. I suppose you have to be old enough to talk and make a decision?
