Well, on one hand, I would say you do because it is your life, and you should be able to decide, but you also might not because you are not an adult, but if you were you wouldn't even have to live with a parent. So, what I'm trying to say is that I think you should have some, if not a lot, of say in the matter.
No. Placement in a foster home is a court ordered mandate. If you were to leave and live with your parent, you could subject them to legal action. What you can do is have you parent petition the court for custody or you yourself petition the court to be heard.
If parents consent, and the friend is above the age of majority, they can become he 15-year-old's legal guardian, and yes they can live together. If the friend is not of legal age to live without guardianship (16 in Canada) then no, that is unlawful.
depends on state laws and the agreement between the parents.
A minor cannot leave the home of the custodial parent without that parent's permission. The noncustodial parent can petition the court for custody rights pertaining to the minor child. Depending on the child's age the court will take into consideration the opinion/feelings of the child before rendering a decision.
No you cannot move out of your parents home at the age of 17 in the state of Illinois because at the age of 18 you are legally considered as an adult.18 years old. i think it's the same in most states.
If you wish to move out before you are 18 you will need parental permission.
When you have joint legal custody you need file a motion to get permission from the judge to move out of state. Judges will look at this request very seriously and the other parent will argue with the judge as to why the child shouldn't leave the state. Be prepared to have solid reasons as to why you should move out of state with the child and how will you cooperate with the other parent regarding visitation and etc. You need to be responsible adult and work with the other parent since they are a half of a parent just like you. And you wouldn't want the other half to do the same with you if its not right. Proceed to motion if you truly have a solid reason to take the child out of state otherwise if you lose the motion than the other parent can use that against you now and later to apply for full custody of the child making you look bad in front of the judge. We deal with a lot of cases where one parent just wants to leave the state and we have to fight tooth and nail to stop it. :)
Can a 16 yr old move out of an abusive home where he lives with step dad because him and his biological mother have no relations due to a ugly divorce and move to his biological grandparents in alberta
In most places, a 15-year-old cannot legally move out of their foster parent's home without permission from the child welfare agency overseeing their placement. It is important for the teenager to discuss their concerns with their caseworker or social worker to explore possible solutions and ensure their safety and well-being.
Until you are 18 you will need parental consent if you want to move out.
Foster children are generally placed through the state they reside in. Foster parents are certified through the state. So, no, unless there is a court ruling allowing the move, it is not legal to move to another state with a foster child.
Only if the minor's parents consent to the move.
In Minnesota, a minor who is 16 or 17 years old can leave home without parental consent. However, minors under 16 need parental permission to leave home. It is always recommended to seek legal advice or guidance when considering leaving home as a minor.
No. Having made poor decisions and become pregnant does not give you rights to make more decisions, nor to move in with another child. If you choose to leave your parent's home it is quite possible you will end up in foster care or a state facility.
Depends on where you live but generally you have to be 18 to decide.
In Maryland, legal guardians are responsible for providing support and care for their children until they reach the age of majority, which is 18. If a parent moves out and leaves a 17-year-old without adequate support or care, they may be at risk of being charged with child abandonment or neglect. It's recommended to consult with legal authorities or child protection services for guidance in such situations.
You can if you parent agree.
They aren't the same. Adoption is becoming the legal parent and foster care means the state is the childs guardian. The state makes all important decisions regarding the child and the foster parents have no rights, the state can just come in and move the child to another foster home for no reason. Adopted children are yours forever.
In many places, you must be at least 18 years old to legally move out of the family home. However, some regions may have different laws regarding the age of emancipation or requirements for leaving home. It's important to check the specific laws in your area to determine the legal age for moving out.
The minor would need permission from the court that placed her with the foster parents before she could move into her grandmother's home.
