not until they either emancipate themselves or until they turn 18
Minors can not decide who to live with. That is up to the parents or the judge. In some states the judge can hear what the child wants but is in no way obligated to follow that wish. The children can decide where to live when they are 18.
Age 18see links
You are emancipated by 18 and can choose where to live.
The minimum age that the child can decide who he wants to live with is 18 years.
you bet. becoming 18 gives the "adult" permission to live wherever he/she wants. he/she is nobody's custody.
He has to be 18.
No, provided you are not removing the child from the jurisdiction of the court, and there are no limitation in the custody order, such as a morality clause.
12, I do believe.
No, it's the parents who decide where you will live until you are 18yo.
Generally, custody orders end at age eighteen and the child can choose where she wants to live.
Maine like most states, do not a specific law that states this. They follow the general rule that a child past the age of understanding can express and opinion. It's up to the judge to decide the weight of it. see links
No but if it goes to court the judge will probably hear what he wants but the court is not obligated to follow his wish. Until he is 18 it's his parents who decide which of them he will live with. If he wants to live somewhere else he will need their consent.
