Once custody has been determined by a court it would take another court order to change that arrangement. The court may listen to a child's request to change custody but it is under no obligation to modify the custody order at the child's request. The court would be looking for an appropriate reason to order a change in custody such as the custodial parent being unfit and the change being in the best interest of the child.

A child is free to decide which parent to live with in every state once they have reached eighteen years of age.

Does a parent still have to pay child support if child moves out on there own?

If the child is emancipated, which generally means self-sufficient, the obligor should be able to get the order for support terminated. Certainly, if the child is still under the obligations of the parents, you can file for custody, if if no emancipation takes place. If the child refuses parental control, than file to have them emancipated, but state laws vary from state to state on this. In New York, child support continues to age 21, regardless of where the child lives. see links below


Can you get emacipated at 17 in the state of Alabama?

Does the state assist financially for the emancipated child?

If you mean after turning 18, no. Some states and some support agreements last after 18 or until school is over. If you mean by getting emancipated by the courts before you are 18, one of the requirements you have to fill to be emancipated is to be able to support yourself with a job and a place to live etc. So no.

This depends on the state laws in which you live. In Alabama once you have a child you are considered an adult.
