If the mother has custodial rights also, she can prevent the minor from moving into a residence which she opposes. However, a parent cannot simply "give" custody to another person including a family member the required legal procedure as defined by state laws must be followed. The 17-years-old does not have a say in the matter unless he or she petitions the court and receives emancipation rights or the court decides that such a move would be in the best interest of the minor.

Yes, a 17 year old can choose to live with her grandparents. Most judges will listen to children aged 14 and above and take into consideration the wants of the child.
