Recently, we allowed our 16 year old adopted daughter go live with her birth grandmother in South Carolina. Her boyfriend and his family have been trying to have her run away or do whatever to come back to Missouri. We decided to allow her to live with her birth grandmother because she seemed to want to so bad. What are our rights if they go and get her, send her a plane ticket, or otherwise bring her back to Missouri. Also, could you please tell me what age she has to be to leave her grandmother's home without our permission?

Can a 15 year old decide which parent they want to live with since the custodial parent got in trouble for the sale of drugs? The charges were dismissed, but the parent failed a hair follicle test and is now in treatment for drug abuse. The child really wants to live with parent to the point they ran away from the parent that got temporary custody of the child.

I am 16 and want to be emancipated. I have a place where I can live and I'm about to start working. My parents will not agree to it. Is this possible? I am also on probation, but it will be terminated in October and I will turn 17 in November.

What is the legal age for a child to stay home alone in the state of Indiana?

Is it legal that a 12 year old stays home alone? Is it legal that a 13 year old baby sit her siblings after school?
