In many jurisdictions, a court will consider the child's preference when deciding custody arrangements, but the final decision is based on the child's best interests. The child's age and maturity level will also be taken into account. A child may have some input at 11, but it is not guaranteed that their preference will be followed.
In Missouri, a 16-year-old does not have the legal right to choose or decide who they want to live with. The court will consider the child's preference, but the final decision will be based on the best interests of the child as determined by the judge.
It depends on the laws of the specific state or country. In many jurisdictions, a 17-year-old's preference may be taken into consideration by the court when determining custody arrangements, but it is not the only factor considered. The court will prioritize the best interests of the child above all else.
it isn't right but if a 14 year old girl doesn't want to live with their parents and doesn't have any family to live with then that girl would need to live in a home but at this point you should have the right not to stay in a home and be able to stay on your own.
In England, the legal age of consent is 16, so technically a 16-year-old can live with a 22-year-old boyfriend. However, there may be legal and social implications to consider, such as parental consent, safeguarding concerns, and the age gap between the individuals. It's important to prioritize the well-being and safety of the 16-year-old in such situations.

it depends on how responsible you are
No, it's up to her parents to decide.

A parent can try to make their 17 year old come home at 10:00pm but the child can chose to do whatever they want.
An 18 year old is an adult. They can choose where they want to live.
