Yes they can. Depending on what state you are in, the legal age has changed from 18 to 17. 17 year olds are considered an adult in Georgia. Not sure of any other state, then they can do what they want. Not in the sense that the police can come and take the minor into custody and return them to the custodial parent. Before action can be taken the custodial parent will either need to file a report with the police that the child is a victim of parental abduction (it is not relevant if the child went willingly). Or the custodial parent will have to file a petition with the court to have the child returned to their custody, in which case the other parent will likely be charged with a contempt of a court order. In regards to Georgia amending the age of majority law to seventeen, that is not quite correct. Georgia has taken the same action that several states have, in that they have amended the juvenile code to designate a seventeen years old as an "adult". This gives the court the power to have said "adult" adjudicated on the same level for most criminal infractions. It also gives the court the power to grant early emancipation rights to those individuals who meet the specified criteria. Therefore, the actual legal age of majority still remains at eighteen (18).
I know I ran off at 17, and had the cops find me and brought me to the station until my parents came for me. I would guess state/local laws may differ. Of cousre that girl needs to come home imagine if you were a mother how would you feel if your daughter had ran away from home huhuh? imagine how your mother is feeling right know think about it girl!!!!!!! will just to let you know your mom is suffering thinking all sorts of bad things that can happen to YOU out in the world girl use your brain OK? take care and PLEASE go home :)
Yes. If you were reported as missing, the police would transport you home when located unless you could give them a compelling reason not to, like endangerment.
Yes the 17 year old can refuse to go back , as you see he was kicked out in the first place.
yes they do because if they are old enough to get a job they are old enough to save there money an d pay bills for living on their own
A 16 year old will need the court's consent to modify the visitation order if the 16 year old decides not to visit their non-custodial parent.
yes its if its by law
Unless visitation rights for the non-custodial parent were allowed in the divorce paperwork, the custodial parent is completely within their rights to deny the non-custodial parent visitation....however, the non-custodial parent may sue for visitation rights.
No, the child goes into the care of custodial parents relatives. A motion for emergency change of custody is required. see my profile.
If both of the parents have a joint legal custody arrangement, you have to give the noncustodial parent that information. If you have sole custody of the child, you do not have to share that information with the noncustodial parent.
The non-custodial parent must review their court orders to determine what their financial obligations are.
If it is not stipulated in the custodial agreement the parents are responsible for working out an equitable solution concerning transportation issues.The court however, generally assumes it to be the responsibility of the noncustodial parent to arrange such matters in a manner that will be advantageous to both the custodial parent and the child(ren).
No.
for what?
If the noncustodial parent tries to keep the child, the custodial parent can get the noncustodial parent charged with kidnapping and contempt of court both can be jail time for the noncustodial.
Yes.
Yes, they do.
A noncustodial parent can prevent the custodial parent from leaving the state with a baby or child. The court will decide if the custodial parent has just cause to leave the state.
none
This is hard to answer because there can be many variables involved. The noncustodial parent may contest the move and take the custodial parent to court to show cause. But it may not be possible for the noncustodial parent to actually prevent the move unless the move is out of state.
no
Custodial, as he/she has primary control and influence.
Generally, no.
Only the court has the power to deny visitation rights.
