Parents have the right to make a child move out after he attains 18 years of age.
She's considered emancipated after being married. She has no legal guardian.
A child cannot make that decision until they reach eighteen years of age. Parents must make that kind of arrangement in writing, ahead of time. It is part of estate planning and should be done by any parent with a minor child. A guardian can be named in a will. If both parents should die in an accident, or by other causes, the will must be presented to the probate court and unless there is an objection the court will appoint the person(s) named in the will as the child's legal guardian. A child is never allowed to 'decide' who will be her legal guardian. The judge may listen to her request for the appointment of a certain person but is under no obligation to allow it. The court will appoint a guardian for a child of deceased parents who have not made any arrangements in advance. If no family member or friend requests the appointment as guardian in a petition to the court, the child may enter foster care. That's why it is important for parents of minors to discuss that situation with family members ahead of time, choose a willing guardian and express that choice in writing for the court to make the appointment should it become necessary.
In Texas, a child must be at least 17 years old to live with another family member with the consent of their parent or legal guardian. This arrangement typically requires a signed affidavit from the parent or legal guardian authorizing the temporary guardianship of the child.
Guardianship of children is a legal arrangement in which a person or organization is responsible for taking care of a minor in the event the child's parents are unable or unwilling to do so. The guardian is responsible for providing the child with basic needs such as food, shelter, clothing, medical care, and education. The guardian may also be responsible for making decisions regarding the child's upbringing, such as religious affiliation, medical care, and education. The guardian is accountable to the court or other authority in charge of the child's welfare.The types of guardianship vary depending on the circumstances. In some cases, a court may appoint a guardian ad litem, a person appointed by the court to represent the child's best interests. In other cases, the court may appoint a conservator or guardian to manage the child's finances or make decisions about the child's care. In some cases, parents may appoint a guardian for their child in the event that something happens to them.The legal requirements for guardianship vary from state to state. Generally, the guardian must be at least 18 years of age, a U.S. citizen, and financially responsible. The guardian must also pass a background check and demonstrate their ability to care for the child. It is important to note that guardianship is not the same as adoption, and the guardian does not have the same legal rights as a parent.In most cases, guardianship of a child is temporary, and the court will review the arrangement periodically to determine if it is still in the best interests of the child. In cases where guardianship is necessary for a longer period of time, the court may require the guardian to provide ongoing reports or to provide regular updates on the child's progress.
Texas law defines a minor as anyone under the age of 18 and guarantees the guardian of such minor the right to have physical possession of the child. Your parents can report you as a runaway. Your boyfriend could also get into trouble, because under Texas law, the following are illegal: HARBORING RUNAWAY CHILD: A person commits an offense if he knowingly harbors a child who is younger than 18 years and is voluntarily absent from the child's home without the consent of the child's parent or guardian for a substantial length of time or without the intent to return. INTERFERENCE WITH RIGHTS OF GUARDIAN OF THE PERSON: A person commits an offense if the person takes, retains, or conceals a ward when the person knows that the person's taking, retention, or concealment interferes with a possessory right (the right of a guardian of the person to have physical possession of a ward and to establish the ward's legal domicile) with respect to the ward. ENTICING A CHILD: A person commits an offense if, with the intent to interfere with the lawful custody of a child younger than 18 years, he knowingly entices, persuades, or takes the child from the custody of the parent or guardian. Now, I've read on the internet where in Texas, the police will not force you to return home if you're 17. Take that information with a grain of salt because I've seen a whole lot of information on the internet that I know for a fact isn't true. The fact is, the laws are on the books, and if your parents caused a big enough fuss, I imagine they could have them enforced. Do you really want to take a chance on your boyfriend facing possible jail time?
Since you are only 15 years old and not a legal adult, you can not be sued, but your parent/legal guardian can be sued.
As the mother has deserted the child the greatgrandmother is the legal guardian as no one else is there to look after the one month old.
Her husband or her parents
In Arizona, the legal age for a child to move out of their legal guardian's house without consent is 18 years old. Parents are required to provide care and support for their children until they reach the age of majority.
Since you are the legal guardian she has to go to court to get them back. What happens there depends on the situation.
The parents of the child.
