If you mean without your parent's consent the answer is no. Relating to a divorce, some state courts will consider your request regarding residential custody but are not obligated to follow it. In many states you can apply for emancipation by the court at the age of 16. In that case you need to check the laws of your state or country.
No, minors are not allowed to choose with whom they wish to reside. In some instances the judge will speak with a minor child about certain issues and may or may not take the minor's opinions into consideration when making custodial decisions.
The issue of where the minor child/children live will be made on what is in his or her best interest and not on the preference of the parties involved including parents or the child/children.
No. First, as a juvenile until the legal age of 18, a child cannot choose which parent to live with. They can petition the court to be heard and they can have a parent work on their behalf. But second, the court isn't terribly interested in rearranging court orders because certain parents allow more freedom. The decision to change a custody order is based on the child's overall welfare and protection from abuse or neglect.
It depends on what state the 16 year old lives in. The courts don't like to get the children involved in most cases. Which ever state the 16 year old is in.. find a lawyer and see about getting a hearing. It also depends on the circumstances and the maturity of the 16 year old. * There are no US states in which a minor can decide with whom they wish to live. When parents cannot agree on custodial matters the decision is made by the judge. A judge will sometimes speak with the minor about general issues such as how he or she feels about the school they attend, friends, their neighborhood, but not about where they wish to live. The final decision is always made by the judge based on what is in the best interest of the child and not on the preference of others.
Sorry, no. Custody has been awarded. If the parents don't mind, they can agree to let the minor stay with either parent, but the minor doesn't get to choose.
In most States the Judge will take into consideration were the child wants to live after the age 14.
yes yu can. as long as both of your parents are financially stable to support you.(unless you have a job). and also if theyre background checks come back free of child abuse, and ect. . .
No, You don't have to have custody of your child to consent to the marriage. You either have to be parent which you are or the gurdian. You are still your child's parent regardless of weather you have custody or not. You could also call to the Clerk of Courts and ask them if this will make you feel comfortable.AnswerIt depends on the laws of your state. But in many states (and for all I know it could be 'most' or 'all' states), a non-custodial parent alone cannot give permission for a minor to get married.
It depends on what kind of custody arrangements you have. If you have joint legal custody, you both have to decide together what is best for the children. If you do not want the child to have a tattoo, the non-custodial parent should not allow the child to have it done and you can file contempt charges if they do.
They recently changed the laws of custody, No one parent has full custody UNLESS they see the other parent as unstable and unfit. If the parent you want to live with has been deemed unfit as a parent then it will have to be taken to court or you can contact certain child organizations to give you more details about how to leave your current home and return to the home of an "unfit parent" However if one parent obtained full custody of the child and the other parent was not deemed unfit as a parent, you may still live with them because of the recent change in custody laws, stating no one parent can have full or primary custody. (in other words, if your mom has full custody and your dad has none ((Also assuming the father hasn't been charged with being a drug addict, alcoholic, or financially unstable etc.)) you may live with the father)
The guidelines are basically the same in every state but obviously there are a few minor differences. Joint custody consists of Primary Custody & Secondary Custody. The parent with primary custody is who the child lives with & the other parent has secondary custody. Depending on the age of the child & the state in which they reside, the court may let them determine where they choose to live. Or if both parents agree on the child's decision then the child can live with either parent.
With the above set of circumstances - you will be given the opportunity to plead your case for custody before a judge.
You are emancipated by 18 and can choose where to live.
Temporary custody yes, if the other parent, who's moving, has been granted permanent custody but has no place to live at the moment. If you are married and can't agree on custody you have to go to court and let the judge decide.
Yes. Leaving children unsupervised is considered child endangerment regardless of who has "full custody". That could lead to the parent being deemed unfit and they could lose custody.

Impossible to answer. If your custody is challenged by the other parent, it may well become one of the disqualifications that the other parent will use against you. Only the judge can decide.
No, there is still a parent left with custody. And custody can never be willed. That is for the court to decide. The ones in the will can ask for custody but it is up to the court.
You cannot decide. You can have the other parent request a change of custody, though. You will probably have to go in front of the judge to express your opinion on the change of custody once it reaches courts.
No you can not. The court will issue both a custody order and a visitation schedule and you must follow it. Courts do not give that power to one parent over the other.
The non-custodial parent can go to court and request custody of the children. A judge will decide which parent should be awarded custody of the children. The circumstances under which the children are currently living, combined with the reason(s) they are not living with you will be a big factor in whether or not you get to keep custody of the children.
