You'd have to contact a Rhode Island Family Law Attorney about that. I'd say if the mother has custody and lives with the children, it's fine -- but I'm not a lawyer.
yesYes, in all 50 states. Although parents have the right to oversee their minor children's welfare they do not have the right to supercede the law.Therefore, a parent can give a minor permission to live with someone else. However, you have to notify child services or a caseworker that the child will be living with someone else.
Think about it. Do you really feel that would be appropriate? Think about the issue of good values and ethics, and how you would like your children to incorporate them in their lives. I believe the answer is evident, don't you? Viper1
Yes, legally you may. Will the judge hearing the custody case look favorably upon such action is a bigger question. Speaking from professional experience, judges do not care for such arrangements especially when there are minor children involved.
Yes. Why wouldn't you be able to?
No. If the parents are living together the law assumes they taking care of the needs of their minor child/children (at least one would hope that is the case).
The minor children have no standing to protest. Their guardian would have to object.

If the home is not fit or safe for children, the state department will usually remove them.
Seventeen years of age is not the same age as eighteen. Until adulthood, the law says the parents are responsible for the minor and where they live.
YES. Fathers have equal rights to their child just as the mothers do. Mothers should not automatically get sole primary physical custody just because they are women. The family court system in the states is starting to lean towards this. Hopefully it will not take 50 years and umpteen kidnapped children.
No, you are still a minor. Pregnancy does not emancipate you apart from regarding your health.
No. Being pregnant/having a child does not emancipate a minor. You are still subject to your parent's rules and authority until you turn 18. And if you runaway and Boyfriend takes you in, he can get into a whole lot of legal trouble over it.
Even at 17, you would still be considered a minor. If you are with a 19 year old, (not a minor) he could be arrested and convicted of kidnapping a minor, and a slew of other allogations could come up.
Yes *** No. Being pregnant/having a child does not emancipate a minor. When you turn 18 you can move.
No, a minor (under 18) with no living parents would be taken into the foster system by the state if no guardian was named in the mother's will.
If you're in the US, of course she can. And Boyfriend may find himself facing charges for harboring a runaway, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, etc.
