That depends on where you live. In the USA, a child may make that decision when they reach the age of majority (18 in most states but can be as high as 21). You would need to supply your state of residence (or country, if outside the USA) for an informed answer and more information.

No, the custodial parent must give written a agreement which contains all pertinent information including the date the child/children will leave and the date they will return, how and when the non-custodial parent should stay in contact, and so forth. If a non-custodial parent removes a child/children from ANY place w/o the knowledge and/or permission of the custodial parent they are committing "parental kidnapping" and may be subject to criminal prosecution and other penalties.
