From About.com Grandparents in North Carolina may be granted visitation in any order pertaining to custody of a child. See North Carolina General Statutes, Section 50-13.2. Visitation can be granted after adoption if the adopting party is a a stepparent or relative and if a "substantial relationship" exists between grandparent and grandchild.

Probably. The legal age of majority is 18 but apparently Texas police won't generally force a 17-year-old to move back in with their parents. If you leave home without parental consent, then anyone who takes you in--even if they are a relative--can be facing charges for doing so. Texas does have laws against harboring a runaway. There could possibly be other charges as well.
Relative and kin are synonyms.

To move out of your parents home without their permission, you have to be of legal age and it's usually 18 in most states. Relative does not matter. It's your guardians who makes the decision. You can always sit down with them and ask to try for a few months.

In Texas, a 15 year old cannot legally move out of their parents' home without their consent. If they were to move in with another relative without parental permission, the relative could potentially face legal consequences such as charges related to harboring a runaway. It is best to seek guidance from legal authorities or social services for the most appropriate course of action.
Go live with a relative. I did this when I was that old. I went to live my aunt and uncle in Calif and graduated from high school there. * If you leave home without parental permission or being emancipated, then your parents can report you as a runaway and have you returned home. You can go live with a relative IF your parents agree to allow it.
