Can a child of 16 move away from grandparents who have custody and live other grandparents?

A 16-year-old cannot leave home without parental consent. If they do and the parents call the police (and I'm assuming they would) then the police will pick the child up and return him/her home. Despite the fact that you are family, it is possible that you (the grandparent) could be charged with something along the lines of harboring a runaway/interring with child custody/contributing to the delinquency of a minor/etc (the exact charges depending on where you live). The grandparent can petition the court for custody, but unless they are able to prove the parents to be unfit in some way...

∙ 12y agoIf the Grandparent has full custody (permanent guardianship) then yes they can move out of state with the child.
By full custody I mean that neither of the child's biological parents have either signed away or have been stripped of they're parental rights.

Perhaps if the parties are all in agreement the parent could consent to allow the child to live nearby with the grandparents. However, that may cause legal problems with child support or other forms of entitlement presently received by the custodial parent.

∙ 12y agoThe child have to be 18 in order to choose where to live but in some states the grandparents do have the right to seek custody. But unless the parents are found unfit I can't see that you would get custody.

However, since it is not actually a physical battle where the child might be in danger they should consider how the court will review and question the fact that the child isn't living with either parent. It would complicate the legal situation.

Can paternal grandparents legally keep the unwed mother of the child away from the child through a power of attorney of the child's unwed father?
Of course not. In the United States an unwed mother has sole custody of her child until the father has established his paternity legally, in court. Then he must petition for custody and/or visitation rights. He cannot make any changes in the custody of the child via a power of attorney. The unwed mother should exercise her parental rights aggressively and not allow grandparents or the father to take control of her "rights".

What happens to the child of a 16-year-old pregnant girl while she is in state custody at a juvenile facility in Tennessee?
Her parents can usually take the child in or grandparents. Child Welfare is usually not far away and has the right to decide what is a fitting home for the child. If the mother's parents or grandparents are not fit to raise the child then the child could become a ward of the courts, but, if the father of the child comes forward and can prove he has the finances to raise that child in a good environment (even his parents helping out or grandparents) then he could raise this child. When the young woman gets out of the Juvenile facility she will have rights to see her child, but it is up to the courts to decide if she is a fit parent. If not, then the father can have sole custody. Marcy
