What Happens if a Minor Moves Out of the U.S.

My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Texas

What do you do if your 17 year old has the permission of the custodial parent and leaves the US? Do they have to have the permission of the non-custodial parent as well?

Yes.

They also need permission of the foreign nation, as there are roughly zero foreign nations that want to expend social services on a minor from another country.

Grown-ups spend a lot less time in a fantasy world.

You cannot emigrate to another country without that country's permission. That's true if you're single or married.

My question was that if they are accompanied by an adult, would it make a difference? Marriage as in they are an emancipated minor. But alright, it seems that you've answered my question.

There really isn't any need to speak in such a demeaning tone.

Children cannot run away across the border to Canada to live, even if they are emancipated.

So would I be able to stop the kid? Do I file a report with the police or would they be stopped at the border? I was under the impression parents of emancipated children do not have the right to do these kind of things.

you need to figure out what is going on with your child. If the child is emancipated through marriage they would not be required to have their parents permission to obtain a passport or any other document required of them. Neither parent would have any parental control over them.

Regardless, people don't just move out of the US and into a different country without the receiving country accepting them. If the child is emancipated, they can deal with the requirements without the concern of either parent. If
they are not emancipated, it requires both parents or a court be involved in the emigration process

So in short, there is nothing that can be done?
