    Default Leaving Home

    If you leave home in five months, nothing will happen as you will be an adult.

    Before then, it's hard to say. Often, assuming that you are not hiding (such that you are a "missing person") and aren't in danger, the police and courts will decline to press a minor who is almost 18 to return home, as by the time the legal process is finished they will be adults.

    In Florida, emancipation would be initiated by your parent or guardian.
