In Connecticut you can become what is known as "emancipated" at age 16; this would allow your sister-in-law to move out of her mother's house. However there are certain requirements. I have provided you a link that more fully explains what emancipation is, who is eligible, how you go about getting emancipated, and a list of resources to help.
