If you have joint custody can your teenager live with either parent?
The guidelines are basically the same in every state but obviously there are a few minor differences. Joint custody consists of Primary Custody & Secondary Custody. The parent with primary custody is who the child lives with & the other parent has secondary custody. Depending on the age of the child & the state in which they reside, the court may let them determine where they choose to live. Or if both parents agree on the child's decision then the child can live with either parent.

Marriage by itself does not bring custody rights to non-biological children.

If the biological parent have left a will with his/hers wishes, it will also play a part. It's all about what is best for the children. Get a lawyer.

If a stepparent has not legally adopted a non biological child, then he or she has no legal right to make any decision concerning the child. If the mother retains full custody of the minor the decision can be made solely by her as long as such a decision is not contrary to existing laws of the resident state. If there is joint custody between the two biological parents, the parent with whom the child does not reside would have to file suit to prevent the minor from moving in with a significant other.
