A child can leave home WITH parents' consent at 16, or without it if they are leaving an abusive or neglectful situation. A child can leave home without parental consent at 17. This is the current legislation in the UK.

Do you have to pay child support if the 16 year old kid CHOOSES to leave his family to live with his girlfriend and her mom?

It is the parents choice.Another View: If the child support is mandated by court order, you have no choice in the matter - you must pay through the end of the legally mandated period or until he 'ages out."As for the child "choosing" to leave home to live with his GF's family - unless he is legally emancipated in the state of his residence he cannot LEGALLY do so. How his guardian parent chooses to address this situation is up to them.
