That depends on your intent and whether the other parent will oppose it. It can be done just using a mediator, or you will need to hire an attorney.

This is interpretive. Generally under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction And Enforcement Act ("UCCJEA") they are suppose to, however this does not preclude other conditions. A mother can run to another state than claim a fear of domestic violence. This than invalidates any orders from another state under the Violence Against Women Act. Unfortunately, the states also have a history of not honoring father custody orders from other states or countries. The was a case of this in Clay County, Missouri. The father with an order from Texas had to kidnap his child and return the Texas.

It depends on whether the case has ever been adjudicated in family court. If paternity has never been established the mother has sole custody.

If a father was receiving child support in Texas and the child chooses to live with the other parent do you have to pay the other parent child support?

If the arrangement is with the consent of the custodial parent and will be permanent then the custody and child support orders must be modified to reflect the change in legal custody. The parent in Texas needs to have their custody formalized by a court order so they can enroll the child in school, consent to medical treatment, etc. If the child support order is not modified the non-custodial parent may be subject to the accumulation of child support arrears.


How old before adopted child can choose residence?

The only states with specific laws addressing this is Indiana and Texas. Beyond that, they simply have a right to express and opinion.Once custody has been awarded by a court it would take another court order to change that arrangement. The court may listen to a child's request to change custody but it is under no obligation to modify the custody order at the child's request. The court would be looking for an appropriate reason to order a change in custody such as the custodial parent being unfit and the change being in the best interest of the child.
