Re: how old do you have to be to leave state
Generally, a child is under the care and custody of the custodial parent unless the child has been legally emancipated. In addition, if there are pending orders giving one parent primary custody of the child, then there are serious issues that should be discussed with an attorney. The non-custodial parent may file a Petition for Modification of custody asking the court to change the custody designation from one parent to the other. Your issues should be discussed with an attorney who can review all of the facts and circumstances of your case.
