In Maine, a child does not have the legal right to choose which parent they want to live with. The court will consider the child's preference as one factor among many when determining custody arrangements, typically starting around age 12. Ultimately, the court will prioritize the best interests of the child in making custody decisions.
In South Dakota, a child's preference may be considered by a judge in custody matters, but it is not the sole factor. The judge will consider the child's best interests, which include factors such as the child's relationship with each parent, each parent's ability to care for the child, and the child's safety and well-being. Ultimately, the court will make a decision based on what it deems to be in the child's best interests.
In South Carolina, a child's preferences regarding custody are taken into consideration by the court typically when they are around the age of 14 or older. However, the final decision on custody is made by the court based on the best interests of the child.
The legal age to choose which parent to live with varies by state, but typically a child must be at least 12-14 years old to have a say in custody arrangements. However, a judge will ultimately make the final decision based on the child's best interests.
It depends on the specific legal circumstances and agreements in place. Generally, a non-custodial parent may be able to seek a court order to prevent the custodial parent from leaving the state with the child, especially if there are concerns about parental rights, visitation, or child support. It is advisable for the non-custodial parent to consult with an attorney to explore their legal options in this situation.
In Georgia, a parent can kick their child out at age 18, which is the age of majority in the state. Before that age, parents are responsible for providing care and support for their child.

No. Child support in Maine is determined according to state guidelines. Any agreement you make with the custodial parent must be approved by the court and a copy will be filed with the court if approved. When it is approved it will become the current child support order.
No, a minor can not sue their own parent in the state of Iowa. A child can file for emancipation from a parent in the state.
A minor can not choose where to live. That is up to the parents or the court depending on the details. If your non-custodial parent who lives out of state wants you to live with him/her, they have to petition for custody unless your custodial parent will consent to the change and join in a modification of the custody order.
