Can a 16-year-old child choose not to have visitation with a parent in full custody situations?
No.What complicates this issue is enforcement. If a parent has visitation, and a 16-year old refuses to go, it isn’t the same thing as a 6-year old refusing to go. A 16-year old is capable of running away, physically resisting, etc. So, if the parent being deprived visitation files a motion for order to show cause, the judge is hesitant to enforce the order being violated. One of the defenses to being held in contempt is that you are not violating the order intentionally, i.e. the violation is happening because of events out of your control.
Can a 16-year-old live alone in the US and enroll in high school without a guardian or parents?
Sure. There is a legal process called EMANCIPATION. This is where the parents willfully give up all rights and claims to their adolescent and some states will allow it at 16 if the parents sign custody to a judge approved minor.Now ask me if a 16 year old SHOULD be emancipated. No. An apartment manager or owner will NOT want to rent to a person so young. Most jobs that pay decent wages you can live on WILL NOT hire under 18. Most 16 year Olds can NOT support themselves in a way that will make them able to thrive.I'm sorry but I believe you should consider maybe reporting your parents to the state (if there is honest abuse or neglect) or asking your parents if you can live with an alternate relative. If it's possible, maybe try to work things out. Why would anyone want to be homeless, or hungry and without the education, or the marketable skills necessary to pay for a place with utilities and food and hot water and other things necessary to really thrive
Can parents stop a 17 year-old from moving away to college?
I'm going to be 17 when I start college. I live in California, and my college is in California. Now, if I am accepted into a college, can I legally move out to live in the college dorms without parental consent? If this matters, my parents will be making no financial contribution towards my tuition. All of my money will come from extensive scholarships, financial aid and maybe student loans. If I want to go to a college, can they legally tell me "no"? And if they can, is there anything that can be done to make it so I could go to this college if my parents don't want me to? Please link a website too, if you can, for a reference...

Can a legal guardian marry his ward? (U.S. and other countries laws.)?
I know legal guardians can give permission to marry( those they're in charge of). But can they themselves get married with those they're in charge of? Suppose a single man suddenly gets legal guardianship of a 17 year old girl(say he was a teacher, or the only friend of the recently deceased parent.), and the minimum age of marriage is 16 years in that territory. If they get involved romantically can he marry her?

How Old Do You Have To Be To Drop Out Of High School In The State Of Florida?
Here's what Wiki has to say: Florida Statute 1003.21(1)(c) requires that, once a child reaches the age of 16, that child may file a formal declaration of intent to terminate school enrollment with the district school board. The declaration must be signed by the child and the child�s parent or legal guardian. Here is the entire statute: (c) A student who attains the age of 16 years during the school year is not subject to compulsory school attendance beyond the date upon which he or she attains that age if the student files a formal declaration of intent to terminate school enrollment with the district school board. Public school students who have attained the age of 16 years and who have not graduated are subject to compulsory school attendance until the formal declaration of intent is filed with the district school board. The declaration must acknowledge that terminating school enrollment is likely to reduce the student's earning potential and must be signed by the student and the student's parent. The school district must notify the student's parent of receipt of the student's declaration of intent to terminate school enrollment. The student's guidance counselor or other school personnel must conduct an exit interview with the student to determine the reasons for the student's decision to terminate school enrollment and actions that could be taken to keep the student in school. The student must be informed of opportunities to continue his or her education in a different environment, including, but not limited to, adult education and GED test preparation. Additionally, the student must complete a survey in a format prescribed by the Department of Education to provide data on student reasons for terminating enrollment and actions taken by schools to keep students enrolled. So what doe's she do if her parents don't sign the declaration? IDK?
