This depends entirely on what state you are living in because parent/child relationships are regulated by state agencies. It is, however, a federal felony for an adult to take a minor across state lines without the express permission of at least one of the child's parents. Unless the child is willing to go to court and challenge the parents' rights, the child has to live where the parents want the child to live. Courts will generally not terminate parental rights unless it can be proven that the parents have abused or neglected the child in a way that endangers the child's welfare, so if you just want to live with a friend or a relative because you're tired of your parents, wait until you're eighteen.What are the laws concerning a minor living with someone other than a birth parent?
