No. The 16 year old must wait until the case is settled. * Legally, no, but it is highly unlikely the court would order the minor to return to the custodial parent's home unless the non custodial parent was not supplying an acceptable living environment.

In the state of Texas if you are seventeen and your parent is receiving child support does the child have to live at home for parent to continue child support?
Yes. Child support is for the "custodial parent". If you are not living at home with your custodial parent, then they are no longer eligible to receive child support. However, the non-custodial parent can request a modification if the child is no longer living with the custodial parent and that includes a change of custody. A 17 yr old is not emancipated in Texas, unless proper procedures through the courts have taken place. If that is the case, then the custodial parent and child are no longer eligible for child support.

Do you have to give up custody of your child if your child transfers school?
Well, this is actually a little complicated to answer since the question is a little to vague. So let me see if I can break this down: Let's talk about the long shot scenario: You are the custodial parent and you want your child to attend school in the same school district as the non-custodial parent; you are now going to have your child move in with the non-custodial parent so they can attend said school. So, the answer would be yes, you will have to give up primary custody of your child in order for them to live in the non-custodial parents home. This is what could happen: a. Adjust custody order to reflect joint custody; have visitation rights. Just understand that whoever has more "nights" with the child each year will be considered the custodial parent. As a non-custodial parent, you could be obligated to pay child support. b. Adjust custody order to reflect that non-custodial parent will have primary custody of your child. They will now be the custodial parent and you, as a non-custodial parent, may be obligated to provide child support. Easy scenario: You just want to move to a new school district, and as the custodial parent your child naturally moves with you. Then, no, you do not have to give up custody of your child. What you must do is provide the non-custodial parent with your change of address as well as a new home phone number if it changes.
What laws would force a 15-year-old to return to the custodial parent's home if they ran away to the non-custodial parent's home?
It depends on the state, but most states have a certain age set where the child can decide which parent they want to live with. Usually, it is around 13 or 14, but it can be different. If your child hasn't reached that set age, then they must continue to live with the custodial parent.

Can a 16-year-old choose to live with his non custodial parent in Missouri?
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.
If a child leaves their home to live with the noncustodial parent is the custodial parent responsible for child support payments?
No, the parent whom the child began residing would need to file for custody and also support before the original custodial parent would be obligated. However there would be no guarantee that a court would grant the motion.
What is the distance the non custodial parent can take the child from their home without consent of custodial parent?
Unless specifically addressed in the court order, there is no provision of law placing a milage limit on travel.
