Of course not. Mom and Dad (assuming they have custody) get to decide where you live.


Hi i'm 14 and i am looking to change where i am living but without changing legal and medical rights how can i do this?

As a minor someone will have to have custody of you and it is up to your parents to decide where you will live. You can not decide for yourself until you are 18yo.


You are 16 and you live with your dad but you want to live with your nan can you do this?

A minor cannot decide with whom they wish to live. It would be necessary for the father to give the minor permission to move in with the relative and provide for the minor's support if that is allowed. In lieu of that, the relative would have to file a petition with the court to be granted custody or guardianship.


What happens if you want to go live with your dad an make sure he can get full custody unsted of your mom but the thing is your dads in jail?

If you are a minor you are not allowed to decide where to live, it's up to the judge if your parents can't decide. And clearly you can't live with your dad if he's in prison. If your mother gives up custody you can end up with a relative or in a foster home.


Can nc kids at age 12 decide who to live with?

Not arbitrarily. The age of majority for the state of North Carolina is 18. That being so, a minor is not allowed to choose which parent he or she wants to live with. In most custodial cases a child who is deemed able to understand the matter at hand will be interviewed by the judge who has jurisdiction in the custodial case. It is at the descretion of the judge whether or not to speak with the minor child/children. The judge also will decide whether or not the knowledge garnered by the interview will be used in deciding which parent should retain physical custody of the minor child.

Cannot answer completely without knowing the state iof residence. As a GENERAL RULE - a minor cannot unilaterally decide which parent to live with if their custody has been awarded by the court.

That means they have custody of you and decide over you. Your mother also decide over you and she can end the temporary custody whenever she likes. So you can not decide anything until you are 18yo.

No as a minor you need your guardian's permission, in this case your parents I assume.


Can 16-year-old live with their dad without the consent of their mother if she does not have custody in South Carolina?

So I'm assuming you are not living with any of your parents but a relative have custody of you? That means it's the court who decides where you will live since custody issues have to go through court. They might listen to your wish but is not obligated to follow it. As a minor you are not allowed to decide yourself where to live. Speak to your dad and ask him if you can live with him and then he can petition for custody. He was most likely already considered if he is a fit parent since parents have first dibs before a relative get custody.


Is it illegal to move out of your guadians home into your parents home in georgia if your a 17 year old female?

As a minor you are not allowed to decide for yourself where to live. It's up to the one who have custody and I guess in this case your guardian. You would be considered a runaway and your parents would commit a illegal act if they let you stay with them.
