This would have to be authorized buy the court. A 15 year old cannot just decide on where to live without proof or justification of a circumstance or situation that endangers the child's wellbeing. If there is such a circumstance where a child is in danger or is abused, it would have to be brought before the authorities.

Only Texas has that law, but with significant restrictions. In all other states, it's a case by case basis, with the Judge interpreting the maturity of the child, and their intent, but this still does not override other evidence in the child's best interest. It's just a piece of the evidence.

Sorry, but if the parents don't allow it, you would need to reach the age of consent (18) in order to make that decision. Otherwise, grandparents would need to go to court and plead for at least partial custody. Good Luck

No, not unless there is an emancipation hearing in court where the Judge will decide if the girl makes enough money to take care of herself.

If this is a custody issue, the non-custodial parent must return to court and try to have the custody order modified. Or, perhaps a guardianship can be arranged with a grand parent with the parent's consent.

no they can't choose what parent they live with until they are at least 16. but if one is being abusive then you could probably live with the other one.
