Please post the State you live in and I can help you with this question. Each State has different laws. Marcy washington The state of residecy is actually irrelevant. The age of majority in most states is 18, in Alabama and Nebraska it is 19, in Mississippi and Pennsylvania it is 21. Having a child does not automatically confer emancipation rights, that has to be done through the prescribed court procedure. If the minor's parent(s) or guardian object to her leaving the family home, they can initiate legal action to prevent her from doing so, or have her returned to their custody if that becomes applicable. The reason this is possible is, in ALL states parents or guardians are legally and financially responsible for minor children until they reach the legal age of majority or a court rules otherwise.

no No, not legally. It is very unlikely that authorities would intervene without a court order or the minor was found to be living in an unsafe or unsuitable environment. However, the parents would have the option of petitioning the court for an order of requistion to have the minor returned to their custody.

depending where you live check your laws, you can consult with a family lawyer and your reasons can be presented in family court. consultion is usually free. good luck.

AnswerTechnically, if your mother has full custody and you're still a minor, you can't legally make the decision to move. However, if all parties agreed to the move, then it would be in the best interest of everyone involved. If all parties do not agree to the move, you can either try to work things out or contact the court to get a hearing in which you would state your reasons for wanting to move.

It is certainly possible. That being said, under the law an unmarried woman retains sole custody rights to a child unless a court rules otherwise. Custody, visitation, child support and other issues will not be addressed by the court unless parentage has been established. If the father has not signed the birth certificate or a declaration of parentage it will be necessary for him to establish his parental rights through a paternity test. The preferred method is DNA although a traditional blood test is acceptable in the majority of cases.

No. You have to go through the court system if the father has legal custody but you can also go through the court system and get emancipated which means noone has legal custody over you so that means that you can live wherever without anyones permission. It's totally rockin'!!!!

If the parents have joint custody then yes, it is possible. Obviously, this would be at the discretion of the home's owner (the parent). Whether or not a teen can choose to leave one house and live in another parent's house without the first parent's permission depends on the custody agreement on file for the family, and the laws where they live.

In some countries/states, a 17-year-old can petition the court for emancipation -- legal declaration of adulthood and release from the necessity for custody by other adults.

Once the child turns 18 (in the US anyway) he is considered an adult and can move out and get his own place. Similarly, the parents do not have an obligation to take care of him, and can legally kick him out.

Probably not since a 17 year old is still a minor but can drive. If they were 18 it would be a different story. In Michigan 17 is a legal age to move out of the parents home.

What is full child custody?

If One parent has full custody but child wants to live with noncustodial parent?

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)


Can a 16 year old leave home and stay with her dad without the courts permission in kansas city Missouri they went to court in Independence?

A child in Missouri cannot freely decide which parent she wants to live with until she is 18. If her mother has legal custody the father can find himself in legal trouble if he allows the child to move in with him without any court intervention unless the mother consents to the change. If there is child support involved, the issue is more complicated. However, the father can request a change in custody in the court that has jurisdiction. There is a good chance of success because in Missouri the judge will listen to a teen's request and take it into consideration in making the ruling.
