Want this question answered?
If the parents are divorced then it is between the parents if the child can go live with the other parent. At age 14 the child can choose witch parent he/she wont's to live with. If that other parent is not willing to let the child go live with that parent then it can be taken to court or just wait till the child is 18 and can go live on it's own.
They can be at least 4 years old. ( this is just a gess)
If a child wants to live with the child's boyfriend, then the child needs to be 18.
{| |- | You have to live in a state that allows emancipation. The child or their gaurdian has to file the paperwork. Among other things, they will have to show how they will support themselves and where they will live. |}
By law, a child does not choose. When you are 18, you are no longer a child, and can choose where you live.
Age 18
In the state of South Carolina a child has the right to choose which parent they would like to live with at the age of 14. The judge takes in the level of maturity of the child, and other mitigating factors.
If a child wants to live with the non-custodial parent, the parents will have to go back through the court system to change the custody agreement. Most states will allow the opinion of a 14 year old child as to where they want to live.
If the father is not living with the child and has some income other than public assistance, yes.
I would like to know the same answer.
It depends on the state you live in and what the laws are that govern that state. In most cases, the child can not just live with one parent, because the custody belongs to the other parent. That child can wait until the age of 18, to move-in with the other parent or that child can ask the court to move with the other parent.
I don't think it's entirely up to the child where they live until maybe about age 17 in Illinois. Placement usually depends on what the courts believe is in the best interest of the child though sometimes they allow input from the child.
