No, they have not reached the age of majority. Until that age, 18 in California, the parents are going to be responsible and make the decisions.
The parent may leave a child out of their will. If they are a minor, the court may include them so the state doesn't have to pay for their support.
In California there is a limit age to be left alone which is only about 2-3 hours if under 18 and those hours are only in the daytime.Parents should be strongly cautioned on how they left there children home for so long maybe a hour is fine but not for 3 or say 4 hours. If your 16 it might well 3-4 hours as you get older time limits may be longer.Once you reach 18 you can live on your own with out time limits of being left alone at your parents home.
A minor cannot runaway legally to a relative in another state and there not be any legal repurcussions from it. The parent/custodian has a "duty of care" that the law says they are responsible for that minors health, care and well being. Unless the minor has been emancipated then they can do whatever they want like an 18 year old + adult can do
10. In Michigan, a minor child (under 18 years of age) is legally defined as a possession of a parent(s). A minor child (a “possession”) cannot own possessions; therefore, any gift to the minor child, something a minor bought with personal money, or wages earned by the minor child are legally the possessions of the parent. A 17 year old who has left home against the parents’ wishes and refuses to return home has no legal right to any possessions in the parent’s home. 11. Parents control whether a minor child has a driver’s license until the age of 18 years. A parent can at any time revoke a minor child’s driving privileges. The parent will need to write a letter to the Secretary of State which indicates the minor child no longer has the parent’s permission to have a driver’s license.

No. Being pregnant or having a child does not automatically confer emancipation status to a minor in Arizona.
No, having a child does not automatically emancipate a minor in the state of Florida. Emancipation is a separate legal process that involves a court determination of the minor's independence from their parents.
With legal guardians permission yes.
The legal age of majority is 18.
Depends. We don't know the age of the minor. We don't know if the family knew or had reason to know that the child was a minor or not. We don't know if the child was escaping from abuse or claiming abuse. Those could have mitigating factors as to how much trouble the family might be in. Under normal circumstances, if a family were harboring a minor who had run away, yes they could get in trouble. Further, if they took the child across a state line, then they could be charged with kidnapping under federal law, a very serious offense. If the child stopped by a friends home out of state (on his/her own) and let parents to believe that he had permission, then the parent might not be in too great trouble. However, they did have a duty to investigate or inform the family as to how the child was doing. This is not a legal opinion as only an attorney in the state where this was involved could properly give a legal opinion.
The court of jurisdiction is one there the child legally resides. If the child has been kidnapped or otherwise removed from their legal state of residence without permission from the court and legal residency had been established in California, then yes. Otherwise, no.
Who is the child living with? Who pays the support?
None. The boyfriend has no legal rights whatsoever.
In Florida, having a child does not automatically emancipate a minor. Emancipation is a legal process that allows a minor to become independent from their parents or legal guardians. Therefore, having a child does not grant emancipation status in Florida.
No, having a child does not automatically emancipate a minor in Missouri. Emancipation laws vary by state and usually require a legal process to be completed. Having a child does not change a minor's legal status.
The parent may leave a child out of their will. If they are a minor, the court may include them so the state doesn't have to pay for their support.
No. The minor has the legal right to their child
what you can do is call your local police department and ask them this question to see if it is legal in your state No, the legal age for the state is 18, and having a child doesn't make any difference in when a person stops being a minor and becomes a legal adult.
