In Oklahoma, if a minor's custodial parent dies, the non-custodial parent can generally assume custody. However, the court may intervene to determine the best interests of the minor, especially if there are concerns about the non-custodial parent's ability to care for the minor. It's advisable to consult with a family law attorney to navigate this process.
It is assumed you mean the parents have joint legalcustody and one parent has physical custody.Generally, the parent with physical custody is awarded the child support since child support is intended to help pay for the child needs, living expenses and all the associated costs of raising the child. The custodial parent has much more in living expenses that are associated with raising the child.See related question link.
The non-custodial parent can go to court and request custody of the children. A judge will decide which parent should be awarded custody of the children. The circumstances under which the children are currently living, combined with the reason(s) they are not living with you will be a big factor in whether or not you get to keep custody of the children.
The child is considered a runaway if refusing to live at home. The emancipation need not be approved by them. As for the child support, that is strictly interpreted by the court. see link

If there was a previous court order giving the other parent custody, but the children are now living with the non-custodial parent, then yes. You should petition the court to change the custody order to reflect the new living arrangements.
A minor can not choose where to live. That is up to the parents or the court depending on the details. If your non-custodial parent who lives out of state wants you to live with him/her, they have to petition for custody unless your custodial parent will consent to the change and join in a modification of the custody order.
Regardless of living arrangements, unwed mothers have sole custody and control in all states. The father has no assumed rights.
No. You need to contact the state that has custody to determine your rights. If you go and get the child you may be guilty of custodial interference.
Yes, depending on state laws. But, a motion to modify can be presented to the court. see links
Regarding joint legal custody-a major concern is that although the parent with physical custody is living with the child and managing daily life they still need the consent of the other parent for decisions that affect the child. In some cases the non-custodial parent uses that power to maintain control.
No, there are no laws in Virginia that makes it illegal for a custodial parent to live with their boyfriend or girlfriend. If you feel you child is unsafe in this situation, you will have to pursue custody through the courts.
