Legal Question in Family Law in Tennessee

Is this true?

I have just turned 18 on november 05. And my parents just singed their divorce papers. My mom said that I had to stay with her till I finshed school. I am expecting a baby. I would like to move in with the dad of the baby. But my mom said that I could not cause the layer and everyone said that I could not. I mean I am 18 teen. That is the legal age? I seen the divorce papers and they said that my dad was to pay till I finshed school. But nothing about having at home till I did. I would just like to know the truth.
