Move out from mom in with dad

My 17yr old stepdaughter wants to move out of her mom’s house for various reasons. Can she just leave and come live with her dad eventhough her mom will not let her go.

Answer #1

That depends on who as legal custody? Or primary custody, in any event as the stepmom you might want to just stay out it and pray for your husband to have discernment and wisdom on how to handle the situation. Blessing

Answer #2

I think if she’s seventeen she should be able to make her own decision and she is allowed to move out of her family house at sixteen. Tell your stepdaughter to tell her mum that it’s her decision not her mums, and she is old enough to live aloneif she wanted to. Ihope this advice helps you. =]
