Once you are 14 years of age you can choose if you want to live with your mother or your father. you have to talk to a judge about it so they can make it legal for you to move in with your other parent and make it so they have costody over you. ~Erica~ Minors are not allowed to choose with whom they wish to live, this includes parents, grandparents and other relatives. In cases of parental custodianship the court usually does not intervene when a minor moves from the custodial parent's home to the non custodial parent's home until (unless) the custodial parent files a request to have the minor returned to the primary residence. The matter can become very involved especially if there is a child support order in place pertaining to the non custodial parent. If this is the case said parent cannot cease paying child support without the risk of being in contempt of a court order and thereby incurring futher legal difficulties.

Custodial parent denies Noncustodial parent visitation rights in Mississippi?
Unless visitation rights for the non-custodial parent were allowed in the divorce paperwork, the custodial parent is completely within their rights to deny the non-custodial parent visitation....however, the non-custodial parent may sue for visitation rights.
Can a custodial parent prevent non custodial parent from traveling out of the country with a child?
Absolutely. A minor child cannot be taken legally from the U.S. without a valid passport. The custodial parent or guardian must, under oath, in person agree to allow the child to accompany the non custodial parent before a passport is issued. Likewise, depending upon the custodial order, the custodial parent may need the non custodial parent to present a sworn affidavit that he or she is allowing the minor to obtain a passport and travel outside of the U.S.
When a custodial parent dies is child support from a non custodial parent still due?
Of course. Unless the non-custodial parent takes sole custody, the non-custodial parent is still responsible for paying child support to whomever the child goes to. There is no reason the death of a parent should terminate the other parent's child support obligation.

Can a non-custodial parent prevent the custodial parent from moving?
Generally yes. If the custodial parent moves away from the non-custodial parent, the custodial parent is ordered to make up the extra travel costs the non-custodial parent must now pay. The principle gives freedom to move, but discourages long-distance moves. In particular it discourages moves that are designed to deny access to the non-custodial parent.

A minor can not choose where to live. That is up to the parents or the court depending on the details.
