No, not as long as the minor child notifies the custodial parent (in this instance the mother) of his or her whereabouts. However, the custodial parent (mother) can petition the court to have the juvenile returned to her custody is the minor child refuses to do so voluntarily.
In the state of Tennessee, if you are 16 and runaway, you are considered a runaway. If you want to leave home, you need to talk to your parents about it.

The most likely scenario is that the children will live with the other parent as long as that parent was not deemed unfit while the custodial parent was alive. If that parent was denied custody for cause the courts may consider another gaurdian should the non custodial parent still be considered unsuitable.
The parent who is considered the custodial parent.
That depends on what agreement you have with the custodial parent. If it's a hot topic I would suggest the custodial parent deal with it.
