Can a 15-year-old leave their home without their parents' permission?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. Consult the specific laws for the state and county in which you reside for the rules that apply. In most states, any 18 year old is considered an adult and is capable of deciding when and where they reside. They have the ability to contract for housing. SOME states allow minors to become emancipated under specific circumstances, but this is not just a matter of filling out some paperwork. A minor is the responsibility of their parents until such time as they reach the age of majority or are legally emancipated. The parents are required to provide for the support of their minor children. If the parents give permission, the minor can live in another location. Such permission does not relieve the parents of the responsibility to provide support. If the parents do not give permission, the minor can be considered a runaway. Charges may apply to individuals that aid and abet such runaways, particularly if they are under the age of consent. In some states it is my understanding that this is not enforced for 17 year olds that leave home. If you are subject to abuse, you should contact social services for your area. They will assist you in getting out of the bad environment and into a safe place.

If both parents die on the sims 3 where would the child go?

User Avatar

Asked by Torisroxyoursox

It depends how old the child is. If it is a baby, toddler or child, then it will be taken in a van to social services and then the household is over. If it's a teenager, you can take the challenge of living on your own as a teen. HOWEVER... teens can only get part-time jobs which pay really low salary and they still have to pay bills, plus there's school to think about. Also, teens cannot move out, they are basically trapped in a world of practical poverty!

Can voluntary terminated rights be reversed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In most States, there is no provision for revoking or reversing the termination of parental rights except under certain circumstances such as fraud, duress, coercion, etc. Since termination is a legal issue decided by the court, you should speak to a family law attorney with all the information about your case.

In Oregon state how old does a child have to be to decide which parent to live with?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Technically the child has no right to decide until reaching the age of majority (18), at which point they're no longer a child.

Only Indiana and Texas have laws setting out a specific age at which a child can make a choice, and even than there are some limitations. With those states, it is age 14. In all other states, the general rule of thumb is that a 12 year old can express and opinion, however the judge is under no legal obligation to consider, or even hear it. In either case, a motion to the court must be filed for a determination to be made.

Once custody has been awarded 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.

Can a 12 year old child in Oregon choose which parent they want to live with?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In a Joint Legal Custody settlement, each parent receives equal time with the child. In some JLC arrangements, one parent is given "primary" custody by court order. The one who is designated "primary" is the one who collects child support from the other, if that kind of monetary support has been ordered by the court judge.

Sometimes parents can work things out for the best interests of the child - other times, the court must step in and make that decisions for them. It would make sense that the judge could hear the child's request - usually the kids are not in the courtroom when the final divorce decree is read.

If a man signs his parental rights away is he still obligated to pay child support?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Relinquishment of custodial rights and voluntary termination of parental rights are different issues. A parent who wishes to be relieved of the legal and financial responsibility of a child must file a petition in the circuit court in the county of residence requesting parental rights be terminated. Usually a parent will only be released from parental obligation in order to allow the child(ren) to be eligible for adoption. In rare cases a biological parent will be allowed to voluntarily give up rights to their child and be released from all financial responsibility. Such decisions depend upon the laws of the state and at the discretion of the presiding judge.

Can a fathers rights be taken away if he cannot support his child?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is assumed that when the father of the child is residing with the mother and the child he is contributing to the support of said child.

If what is meant by the question is can there be a court order of support while the mother and child are residing with the father then, yes that is possible. However, it would seem to be nonsensical for such an action to take place. Unless the order were in place before the non custodial father began cohabitation. If that is the case, the current order should be adhered to regardless of the living arrangements.

If you live in Missouri and the pregnant mother of your unborn child moved to California from Missouri can you sign over rights and not pay child support?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Nothing can be done until the child is born and paternity is established. If the male is not willing to acknowledge he is the father a paternity test will be necessary, before any litigation pertaining to child support, custody, visitation rights or the relinquishment of parental rights is possible. However, the issue of the biological mother moving to another state is not necessarily relevant; all states honor and enforce child support and/or visitation orders issued in another state.

How can you deny joint custody to an abusive parent?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

YOU cannot deny any custody or visitation. Only the court can make an enforceable decision regarding these matters. State laws vary.

If physical abuse is the case, the custodial parent will need a record of the abuse and should call the police, take pictures to record the effects, and try to have dis-interested witnesses present at the time of any contact between the parents. If there is no abuse to the children, or no abuse in the presence of the children, it is unlikely to make any change in the court decision for joint custody. It may compel the court to make some order for supervised exchange of the children for visitation.

Only the court can make any decision, especially regarding custody. If the non-custodial parent is abusive to the children it may be very good grounds for a sole custody arrangement. It may also encourage the court to provide for supervised visitation.

Visitation is a different issue than custody. Visitation is the means for the non-custodial parent to have a relationship with the children and build that relationship. A court generally regards this as semi-sacred. A custodial parent should NOT deny visitation. If it is necessary to curtail visitation for the real safety of the children, the custodial parent should immediately file a request for a change of visitation. Otherwise, a court may frown on a parent who denies visitation. In some states, continual denial of visitation can be grounds for a change of custody.
