How old do you have to be in PA to pick where you live if your parents are seperated?

If your parents are going through a divorce the court will decide where any minor children will reside.  Middle school aged children and older are usually at least talked to by the judge or court appointed councellor to find out what they think about the family situation.  Unless you become emancipated you'll have to live with what the court decides.

I believe if your parents have joint custodial rights you can choose what parent you want to live with. To be certain call your dad's attorney and he can tell you for certain. If your dad only has visitation you can't move in with him without a court order. It also sounds like if that was the case you have a compelling argument that you don't like your moms boyfriend. Call your dads lawyer, ask him the custody arrangement and good luck! Best wishes!

The instructions say this:  "If your parents have divorced or separated, answer only the questions about the parent that you lived with most during the last 12 months. If you did not live with one parent more than the other, answer only the questions about the parent who provided most of your financial support during the last 12 months."

yes you can.  Unfortunately that is one of the blips in Michigan law.  At 17 you think you know enough to move out of your parents house but they are still required to be responsible for you.\n\nI know you think you know everything... good luck to you

I'm 21 and finally getting tired of living at home. So I'm moving out. I'm going to let them know that I'm pursuing my life in the town I go to college; they would probably eventually give me the boot at around 25, I think, if I didn't.

18, you must be a legal adult. OR have forms stating you are emancipated. All underage people must go diretly to passport control.  \nNo mail in's.

No i don't think you can. Legally your parents still have control of you until you are 18. But, then again some states may allow you to move out at 16. Check out your state's government website.

That depends on why, In some states minors 12 and over can tell the judge if their is a reason why you want to stay with one parent over the other. On the other hand if you do not like your mother because she makes you do your homework and doesn't let you do some of the things you want then you should stick with the parent that makes decisions based on what is right not what is popular you will be glad of that 10 years from now.Trust me it isn't always as easy for a parent to not let you stay out that extra hour or let you ride in a car with a friend that has had his/her licence less than 6 months when your are 15 but they do out of love and experance we have done some of the same things our chidren do mistakes included, that fine line between trust and guidence isn't always easy to see we make mistakes too.

you must be 24 or married or have children or support children or parents died (mother and father), estranged from parent for a significantly long time

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.

I think the laws are state wide- I have a 21 year old friend, who was looking into becoming emancipated for financial reasons. He's been out on his own since age 17, with no support from anyone in his family (admirable, huh?). Yet he's having probelms with financial aid for school because they will not, in our great state of Pennsylvania, condiser you financially responsible for yourself until you are 23. Anyway, he looked into the process and from what I understand, there really ISN'T a way-- at least he had no luck and that was the end result of his research.\nGood luck though- I hope for your sake that I'm wrong.

legally when your 18. At that time you can enter into contracts legally, and your responsible for your own actions and mom and dad can finally kick you out of the house.

I really don't know, it should be your personal choice. I haven't seen my father for 13  years, but now I live with him - that doesn't mean I suggest anything to you. It's YOUR decision. Good luck!

I believe in the state of texas it is legal for a 17 year old to move out. Call the court house to find out though. also look into Legal Emancipation.\nPS-living outside of your parents place is not cheap, health insurance is expensive, dental ins, car ins, gas prices, cell phone bill, electricity (i live north of dallas in Denton (college town)) 1 bedroom apartment kept at 85 degrees during the summer ran about 90 bucks a month, at least. I am sure you dont want to live in one of the shit-hole All bills paid places where you can here your neighbors argue, also dont forget rent prices and food. FOOD can cost alot!\nALSO, to move into your own place (roomates cause legal problems) you will need a cosigner, meaning your parents may need to sign your apartments lease. seeing how Houston tends to get some smacking from hurricanes and such you may want renters insurance.\n\nOh yeah, "Dont forget to bring a towel"
