the state that approved it. or whichever state you signed the papers at.
If you're in the US and you leave your state in order to go to another state to have sex so that you can circumvent the laws of your state--that, in and of itself is illegal.
Absolutely! According to state and federal law a child over the age of 16 but under the age of 18 is emancipated when she becomes a parent. My personal opinion, its better for the baby to be with his/her mother and father.
State,County, and Municipal laws regulate this activity.
This can differ from state to state, however in the state of Michigan, at age 13, the child is deemed "of age" to determine where he/she would like to reside.
The state's legal age of majority is 18.
That depends on the state laws. It can be transferred to go to him, but you will also be ordered to pay. In some states it runs until age 23.
Parents are responsible until the age of majority, which is 18, although in some states the child can choose to leave home at 17 and cannot be forced to return (a loophole created by state law allowing a child to go to jail at 17). Ina strange twist, in those states (like Georgia) should the child leave at 17, the parents are legally responsible for some of their actions until 18.
Although not widely known, in Georgia, a teen can go to jail at age 17. Because of that, the police will not force a person who is 17 to go back home if he/she leaves. The parents cannot kick the child out until age 18, but the child can leave at 17, and therre is nothing the parents can do to stop it.
A child can make that decision at the age of 18.
Every state seems to have different guidelines - some declare a certain age - others go by weight and height. You will have to check your own state's requirements.
Generally child support payments go to the time of state- maturity of the child, which is 18 in most jurisdictions.
