...my parents were glad to get rid of my older brother - he left at 20 LOL
NO
By this age, the 17 year old can choose whom to live with. You have to wait until 18 to just leave, but if you file the proper paperwork, you can leave sooner to live with your dad.
Mother Teresa was 8 years old when her father died.
My granddaughter wants to live with her mother she is soon to be 17 and her father has custody and dose not want her to leave what recourse dose my granddaughter have ?
They leave at 2 years old.
They never leave their mother, their mother is the queen of the colony and they stay with that colony their entire life
No, not unless the court grants the father custody.
The mother is 83 and still alive
the mother is often a man
if the mother was a jerk enough to leave that poor kid and his father alone, yes.
If mother has custody, then she has all the say until the girl turns 18. If she objects, then the girl must obey.
Pups should be weaned at 6 to 8 weeks old to leave their mother.
