Not legally. It may be difficult to comprehend, however, the legal age of majority for the state of Mississippi is 21. There is the option of petitioning the court for the removal of disability of age if the underaged person meets the requirements specified by law. I would say NO, but some do. The responsibility would still fall on the parents until 18 for any actions of a 17 year. Moving out does not solve problems and does not give freedom of choice. Different responsibilities will be compounded that were never thought of. Were would you get your next meal, TV, internet, money, transportation, etc.. You wouldn't be able to enter into rental agreements, car loans or something so simple as renting a movie until your eighteen. Living with someone else brings about different problems not thought of, such as privacy. Most teens don't understand that freedom of choice comes with responsibility. Responsibilities give adults the power of choice. If not responsible you will never have this power. Stay home and enjoy your freedom you have now because the grass is not always greener on the other side.

∙ 17y agoNo child under the age of 18 can make the choice of which parent to live with. A parent can petition in the child's name and the court will hear a reasonable argument from the child, but a juvenile can make no legally binding decisions.

∙ 14y agoI am a mother of two boys and I went through the divorce before either of them were 14. The way my attorney explained it to me is that at the age of 14, a child has the right and can go before the judge and state that he/she does or does not want to live with a particular parent. The judge can not act soley on their request, but is to take it into consideration. As for them being able to say they do not want to have visitation with a particular parent, I am not sure. The best thing to do would be to have a consultation with your attorney, if you have one. I don't like parting with my hard earned cash, but, the facts are your best tool. Sometimes they are not what we want to hear, and let's face it, the laws don't always seem to be in favor of preserving relationships, but, if we violate them, there can be much worse consequences.

Whether or not you have to pay child support if the child is living with the noncustodial parent depends on the support order that it is in place Typically you can expect that you will have to expect to pay support.
