The first choice needs to be a separated father, but a teens point of view on "getting along" is often skewed. They interpret fact and events from their limited life experience. Worse, at age 15, that magical age of 18 and being an adult to all encompassing. They think of themselves as almost adults, and thus should be given adult rights. When this runs up against reality, they claim they are "not getting along" with mom, dad, or both.
No, a minor can not choose where to live until he is age of majority in his state, usually 18.
It is up to the Parents To Allow her to live with her grandparents.
no, the parents of the child have more rights to the child than the grandparents.
The grandparents, unfortunately, have to bear that burden & will probably have to become the baby's legal guardians & raise the child themselves.
No, they must file a child in need of care motion with the court.
I assume that you mean "from the biologicalfather". The father have every right to have you see his child when the child stays with him. The mother can do nothing about that unless she can prove you are unfit or dangerous to the child and then she will need a court order to keep you away.
It depends on who has legal custody.
With her child, no.
If the grandparents are legal guardians and the child is living with them, the both of you as the biological parents have to pay child support to the grandparents.
She lived with her mother and (occasionally her father was there) in her grandparents house.
She can terminate her parental rights, not yours.
If the grandparents do not have legal permanent custody and the mother has proof she is the child's legal custodian, even if she has been absent in the child's life--yes, they can. If you believe the mother is unfit to care for the child or you have had physical custody for a long period of time with little or no contact from the mother, you can file an emergency appeal for custody with the courts. A temporary custody paper will not keep the child with you if she ever signed one as she can revoke it at anytime.
No, minors do not have the right to choose where to live.
With the facts given...the mother is the one that would qualify under the tests, especially the support and residence ones. Which without, the grandparents don't qualify to claim the child in any case.
