If the child is a minor, no, they cannot. Expelling a minor for from their parent or legal guardian's home is an act of neglect. Generally when police officers encounter a child who has been kicked out or locked out, they will bring them back to the parent and force the parent to let them back in. If they refuse, they are arrested and charged with neglect. This is true in all states.

If a child is committing crimes, the parent can alert the police to the criminal act and see to it that the child is prosecuted or remanded to the state as a ward of the court and removed from their custody based on the same. But a parent does not have authority to decide they want to expel their child from the home just because they want to.

In the state of Texas if you are seventeen and your parent is receiving child support does the child have to live at home for parent to continue child support?

Yes. Child support is for the "custodial parent". If you are not living at home with your custodial parent, then they are no longer eligible to receive child support. However, the non-custodial parent can request a modification if the child is no longer living with the custodial parent and that includes a change of custody. A 17 yr old is not emancipated in Texas, unless proper procedures through the courts have taken place. If that is the case, then the custodial parent and child are no longer eligible for child support.


Can a 16 year old child choose to move out of custodial parent home and move in with a non custodial parent?

No. The 16 year old must wait until the case is settled. * Legally, no, but it is highly unlikely the court would order the minor to return to the custodial parent's home unless the non custodial parent was not supplying an acceptable living environment.


In the state of Michigan would a court approve a non custodial parent to care for the children after school for a couple of hours until custodial parent arrives home in place of a sitter?

Permission from the court would not be required. The court does not become involved in things such as childcare providers, schools, religion, etc. such issues are hopefully decided amicably between the parents. The exception, of course, is if the non custodial parent restricted vistation or contact with the children by order of the court.

What laws would force a 15-year-old to return to the custodial parent's home if they ran away to the non-custodial parent's home?

It depends on the state, but most states have a certain age set where the child can decide which parent they want to live with. Usually, it is around 13 or 14, but it can be different. If your child hasn't reached that set age, then they must continue to live with the custodial parent.
