After the child is aged 13 or so, if circumstances are similar and the parents agree, the child gets to choose. However, an 18 year old is really legally an adult.

Can the noncustodial parent get custody of the child if the child does not want to go back home.. Without a lawyer Ages are 15 13?
I believe that the child at age 15 or 13 cannot go with the noncustodial parent because it is not the child's choice. The judge is the only one that can make the disicion. Let the child present his case and concern to the judge and let the judge make his proclaim.

Can a noncustodial parent take a child out of the state of Ohio to the state of Michigan and be legally granted full custody of a child without the custodial parent being notified?
No, and you would be breaking a ton of laws as you have to get custody rights first, and have the other parent either stripped of their rights or they have denounced their rights. Otherwise, a judge is definitely going to send you to jail for kidnapping and will just as likely deny any appeal for custody.

Child Custody?
When parents separate, whether married or unmarried, custody of all children will need to be established. Parents who agree on child custody will need to file a parenting plan with the court that outlines the conditions of custody. When parents cannot agree on custody of the children, it will be left for the courts to decide. When a judge has to determine custody, in most states he will set it based on what is in the best interest of the child. When deciding what would be in the best interest of the child, the judge will look at many different factors. First, the judge will look at where the child currently resides. Where does the child attend school? Is the home a safe environment? The judge will also look at the relationships the child may have with siblings and other relatives, and which parent will be better able to maintain those relationships in the future. Rarely will a judge separate siblings. The parent who is the primary caregiver of the child will usually get preference. This is the parent that bathes the child, drives the children to school and other events, who attends parent teacher conferences, and most other responsibilities involving direct contact with the child. Parents who can determine custody themselves can choose to share custody of the child. Joint custody is when both parties are equally responsible for decision making. Though both parents make decisions regarding the child, the child will not necessarily spend an equal amount of time with each parent. The parent with whom the child spends the most time has primary physical custody of the child. When one parent is responsible for the decision making, that parent has sole custody. When a parent is given sole custody, the other parent is almost always granted visitation. Visitation is set in a parenting plan and will outline times the children are to spend with the noncustodial parent. This will include weekends, breaks from school, and a schedule for the holidays. Custody issues can be the most difficult part of any divorce proceedings, and can become very painful for everyone involved. Children can also suffer during these times, so be sure that their needs are being attended to and that they are not being used as pawns between the parents.

Can a noncustodial parent get custody of 17 year old child if custodial parent is mentally and verbally abusing child.?
Yes. Judges change custody of children all the time. It is good to have some data or other witnesses to back up your claims but it happens. A 17 year old child is usually old enough simply to move out of an abusive situation and into a different situation without any judge's permission. The problem is usually with child support payments.
