Question: Is the Romeo and Juliet law in Virginia?

Virginia does recognize a limited exception for persons that are under the age of 18, but older than 15. It is usually between 15 and 17 years where you have a gray area in Virginia and you have an exemption that would typically fall under what it is commonly termed as Romeo and Juliet laws.

Can you legally move out at 17 in West Virginia?

You cant until you are 18. Emancipation is rarely granted for teenagers unless they are TOTALLY self-sufficient - own job, own residence, pay own bills, and not dependent on anyone.
