What is the age a child decides where he or she wants to live?

Answer 1

depends on how the child copes in life, is he/she could be any age and want to die, it could be family or relationship problems or bullying thts gone past its level of being stopped, just try and comfort the child much as possible, because im a child age 13 and i wanted to die a few monthes ago dew to bullying, because the people who bullied me were badley racist, im irish you see, and they were calling me really bad names, i wanted to die at 12 because i knew id get bullied the rest of my life untill my mum told me every night im beautiful ignor them stupid people. just never let the twinkle in your eye go out and you'll be fine.

Answer 2

It depends on the individual state and county. It also depends on a lot of other conditions. For instance, in some parts of the country a child as young as 15 can file for official emancipation from their guardian. This means that the child is allowed to live i his/her own household without parental guidance. It usually comes with all sorts of conditions (meetings with social workers, lack of financial independence, required to work or keep good grades, etc) and is usually applied when the home life of the child is horrible and there is no family to support him/her.

In the case of divorce, it usually depends on the settlement. I have personally known people who allowed their children to decide as young as 7-8 years.

Otherwise, 18.

Answer 3

By law you have to be 18 or If you get emancipated then you are free to do what ever you want.

Answer 4

When the child reaches the age of majority in the state or country (if outside of the US) where they reside. In the USA, this age may be as low as 18 or as high as 21.
