At what age can a child legally move to the none custodial parents house?

Usually the age is 12, but you can't just move.  The non-custodial parent would have to get a court hearing stating that "this is what my child wants" then the Court hears the child's testimony.\n\nEven at that...sometimes the Court will still not rule to let the child move.  \nBe aware that even if the non-custodial parent and the child want the child at the NC's house, the custodial parent could press charges if the Courts haven't changed custody over to the current NC parent.

It is generally recommended that children younger than age 10 never be left at home alone. In some states it is even illegal to leave children younger than age 10 home alone on a regular basis. \n\nBy the age of 11 or 12, some children can stay home alone safely for up to a few hours.\n\nI'm not sure though the actual law in Texas. The website I have listed is an artice and in that article it mentions something about not until they are 15.

Hi, I'm from Carolina, and I'm not sure if there is a law for that what you asked. I think common sense plays more a part than anything. I think it is safe when a child reaches 10-12 years old. Of course there are 10-12 year olds who are dependable, and some that are not, I think it depends on your kids. I know of a 12 year old who was in daycare because his mom couldn't trust him enough to stay at home and not burn down the house, or let strangers in while she worked. Generally around that age, they should be able to stay home by themselves until a first shift working parent(s) come home for the evening. Most of the time the child is only there for 2-3 hours alone before an adult get s there, which is not bad. As a child with both parents working, I remember staying there for an hour and a half until my mother got off work. We walked home from school, me,my brother and my little sister. My bro was the oldest at  10, I was 8 and lil' sis was 5 or 6. We were good kids and me and lil' sis listened to our bro. We would not answer the phone, go outside, cook anything, or watch t.v (until homework was done) no tv until homework was done. He would threaten to tell if we didn't listen to him, and we did since he was the oldest and in charge. I am 28 now, and I'm still alive and well. That is my point. It depends on your kids! My bro was responsible at 10 years old, so my folks knew they could trust him to watch over his baby sisters!

In most states it is 18, otherwise a parent or guardian would need to sign for the person.

A minor cannot live separately from the parents if there is no valid reason under the law.

The 100-Mile Rule \nWhen a parent is planning on moving from one part of the state to another part of the state, or from Michigan to another state, the new 100-mile rule applies. The State has recently enacted MCLA 722.31 as part of the Child Custody Act of 1970. The 100-mile rule only applies when the legal residence of a child is covered by a court order. This means that the rule only applies when the parents have joint legal custody of the child. Joint legal custody means that the child is deemed to have 2 legal residences, one with each parent. The 100-Mile rule puts more emphasis and concern on the child's well-being than the previous tests. \n\nA parent is restricted from changing her or his legal residence when a parent of a child whose custody is covered by court order wants to move his or her legal residence more than 100-miles from the legal residence of either party that existed at the commencement of the action which the custody order was issued. Legal residence is defined as the primary residence of the parent at the time the action was commenced. If both parents were residing in the same household at the time the action was commenced, that residence is the initial legal residence for both parties. But if a parent is determined to have no legal residence at the commencement of the action, then the only legal residence of the other parent shall be considered in applying this statute. For example, if the parents resided 40-miles apart at the commencement of the action, neither party could move more than 60-miles away from one of the legal residences that existed at the time of the action. \n\nWhen a parent is contemplating a move, the term 100-miles is interpreted as road travel. Also the shortest possible land route should be considered. For example, a proposed move from Petoskey to Escanaba would require approval, as even though the actual distance is less than 100 miles, the road mileage is substantially more than 100 miles. \n\nThe Michigan 100-mile rule does not apply in certain situations. (1) if sole legal custody is granted to one parent alone; (2) if at the time of the commencement of the action in which the custody order is issued, the two residences were more than 100- miles apart; (3) if the legal residence change results in the child's two legal residences being closer than before the change. \nIf none of the above situations apply, a parent can change his or her residence if the other parent consents to the change which means in writing signed by both parties, or if permitted by court order. But if the 100-mile rule does apply, the court will look to several factors to determine whether or not to grant permission to move. \n\nBecause the child is the courts primary concern in deciding the issue under the 100-mile rule, the following factors are considered: \n(1) Whether the parent's move has the capacity to improve the quality of life for both the child and the relocating parent. This does not address the issue of the non-moving parents quality of life. \n(2) The degree to which each parent has complied with and utilized his or her time under ta parenting time order, and whether the move is inspired by a desire to defeat or frustrate parenting time. \n(3) The degree to which the court is satisfied that if the move is permitted it is possible to amend the parenting time schedule in a manner that will preserve and foster the relationship between the child and each parent and the likelihood that each parent will comply with the modified schedule. \n(4) The extent to which the parent opposing the move is motivated by a desire to secure a financial advantage concerning child support. This is to prevent a parent from negotiating a lower support payment in exchange for agreeing to change a residence. \n(5) Whether domestic violence was directed against or witnessed by the child. \n\nA custody or parenting time order should provide either the parents' agreement as to how a change residence will

Not if it's the law.\nQuit trying to come up with a way for the non-custodial parent to be irresponsible.

In Alabama and Florida the law says a child cannot stay alone until the age of 12.  A child cannot be alone with a younger child until the age of 14.  I would assume Georgia law is very similar.

Unfortunately there isn't much you can do at this time of your life.  Until you are 18 years of age or able to support yourself without any outside help, there isn't much help.  You can contact your representative of the DCSS and tell them you don't want any visitations from your non-custodial parent.  You may even be able to file for a restraining order.  It also depends on what state you live in.  The best way to find out is to visit your states web site and look under children's rights.  Or just contact your local DCSS rep.  They're there for you, not your parents.

Whichever state you are in, age does not matter. If you want to move out on your own before age 18, you must go through an emancipation program and successfully complete the requirements etc. But if you do leave and you're a minor, when the police get a report that you've left without your parent's permission, you will be reported as a runaway and will possibly be sent to a juvenile detention center.

A lot depends on the age of the child in the jurisdiction in which he resides.  In Texas, for instance, a child as young as 10 has the ear of the Family Law court as to his preferences.\n\nThen, the court can appoint a guardian ad litem who represents the child non-partially toward either parent.\n\nThe parent seeking custody must have a good lawyer and no doubt home studies of each parent's home environment and lifestyle will be ordered by the court.  All of this costs money of course. Often LOTS of money.\n\nIf the custodial parent is proven un-fit as the person above me says, and the non-custodial parent IS fit, it will most likely be a slam dunk. But if the only reason the non-custodial parent is seeking custody is to shift the child support payments, for example, success is unlikely.\n\nIf you are the non-custodial parent in this case, and what you want is more time with your child, and you are not simply seeking a reduction in expenses or some kind of revenge against the child's other parent, and the other parent is not unfit, and you are a fit parent, I highly recommend that you attempt mediation before you go the more aggressive route outlined above.  See if you two and your attorneys can't work out a custody arrangement better for your child than the current one. It is ALWAYS better for the children of divorce when the parents work together for the child's welfare, instead of placing the innocent in the middle where he always ends up feeling as though he somehow caused it all.

It is the mother's parental right to make any new boyfriend's life hell.  Now, what age were you when you signed it?  If you were under age, then technically no, it can't be legal.  I don't know the age at which she/you are considered adults in your own community.  When she turns 18, will she be living at home or move out?  If she lives at home, mom's/dad's house rules apply.  OR, maybe certain terms can be negotiated with her parents.  Good Luck!

Get a lawyer. I believe a chid can decide which parent he/she wants to live with at the age of 13. Call an attorney and get a free consultation. Don't let this child live in an abusive household.

I don't know every state law but, I know that in most states, if the mother/father can prove that she has a home, stable income , and is competent enough to care for the child. She will be the first choice. If she isn't, family will be the next choice. You can pick a legal guardian but, any choice can be challanged in court.

I know at age 13 they have the right to decide which parent they want to live with.  I'm not sure if they have the right to refuse visitation with the other parent though.
