What is the legal age a child can leave the house on his own? What is the legal age a child has the choice to choose where he wants to live or live with if its Mom or Dad.

Re: The legal age

The minute a child turns 18 he/she is an adult and can do whatever they want.

Texas does not technically allow a child to pick which parent they want to live with. In Texas after the age of 12 a child can fill out a form showing the parent they would like to live with. It is NOT binding on the Judge.

Good luck,
