In Maryland, legal guardians are responsible for providing support and care for their children until they reach the age of majority, which is 18. If a parent moves out and leaves a 17-year-old without adequate support or care, they may be at risk of being charged with child abandonment or neglect. It's recommended to consult with legal authorities or child protection services for guidance in such situations.
Step parents have no legal right to step children and it's always the pregnant person who decides over the baby, before and after the pregnancy. As a single parent she can get help from a social worker to find what rights she have to funds etc. The court will demand the baby's father to help out financially. Any decisions regarding where the minor step child will live will be taken by the custodial parent or the court if the parents can not decide.

Not arbitrarily. The age of majority for the state of North Carolina is 18. That being so, a minor is not allowed to choose which parent he or she wants to live with. In most custodial cases a child who is deemed able to understand the matter at hand will be interviewed by the judge who has jurisdiction in the custodial case. It is at the descretion of the judge whether or not to speak with the minor child/children. The judge also will decide whether or not the knowledge garnered by the interview will be used in deciding which parent should retain physical custody of the minor child.

A minor can not choose where to live. That is up to the parents or the court depending on the details. If your non-custodial parent who lives out of state wants you to live with him/her, they have to petition for custody unless your custodial parent will consent to the change and join in a modification of the custody order.
