No, the minor is there by court order and cannot arbirarily move from the residence until they are at least 18. In Alabama and Nebraska the age would be 19, and in Mississippi and Pennsylvania it would be 21. Even when the minor reaches the state age of legal majority, it may be necessary to have the court that issued the original placement order confirm the minor as being an adult.
