If the mother has custodial rights also, she can prevent the minor from moving into a residence which she opposes. However, a parent cannot simply "give" custody to another person including a family member the required legal procedure as defined by state laws must be followed.

Not until you are 18.
If you're 18 you can live where ever you please. As a 17 year old you can probably get away with it. It would not be worth fighting about when you are so close to 18.
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.
