A child in Missouri cannot freely decide which parent she wants to live with until she is 18. If her mother has legal custody the father can find himself in legal trouble if he allows the child to move in with him without any court intervention unless the mother consents to the change. If there is child support involved, the issue is more complicated. However, the father can request a change in custody in the court that has jurisdiction. There is a good chance of success because in Missouri the judge will listen to a teen's request and take it into consideration in making the ruling.

Can one parent take a child out of the state of Texas without the consent of the other parent?

No, you will need the other parents and the courts permission.


Does a 16 year old mother have to get the father's permission to move out of state with the baby if she is moving with her parents?

That will depend on whether paternity has been established. If the mother is not married at, or within 300 day of the birth of the child, there is no legal father unless through the court. In that case, no one's permission is needed, however the father may bring suit himself. Under those circumstances, many courts will see allowing the move is in the best interest of the child. If there already is a court order in place, you need the court's permission, not the father's permission for the move.


If you were never married to your baby's father do you have the legal right to move to another state without his permission or do you need to get permission from the courts first?

A mother has sole rights to her children unless/until a court order is issued giving the father custodial rights. If there is not a custody order from the court the unmarried mother may take the child/children and move whenever, wherever she wants.


Can one parent send their child out of state without the other parent's permission?
