You cannot legally leave home until your 18. That is not to say that you cant move out, but you must have your parents permission, and they can revoke that at any time. Also, it's not always as simple as "Mom said its Okay". Obviously, if a 16 or 17 year old is going off the college (it happens), that is perfectly legal. If they are 12 and they want to move in with their friend, this can only occur with parental permission, and the parents are still responsible for the child, even though he/she is not living there.

It's a very complicated matter, but generally, unless you have a very good reason to move out, its not gonna happen. and no matter what, unless your parents give you permission, a court gives you permission or you turn 18, you cannot move out. They will get you as a runaway, and you could face fines + jail.

When can a child decide which parent to live with in the state of South Dakota?

In South Dakota, a child's preference may be considered by a judge in custody matters, but it is not the sole factor. The judge will consider the child's best interests, which include factors such as the child's relationship with each parent, each parent's ability to care for the child, and the child's safety and well-being. Ultimately, the court will make a decision based on what it deems to be in the child's best interests.
