No, not without permission from the court, unless the child files for and is granted legal emancipation. The age of majority in SC, when a child can decide where to live without court intervention or permission from the custodial parent, is 18. However, the child does have the right to make their preferences known to the judge in charge of deciding or modifying custody, either via a letter to the court, or engaging an attorney or guardian ad litem to petition the court indicating their preferences. The older the child, the more weight generally given to their preference, unless living with the other parent would not be, in the opinion of the court, in the child's best interests.
