How old do you have to be in the state of Alabama to get emancipated if you have a child and a place to live?

Once custody has been determined by a court it would take another court order to change that arrangement. The court may listen to a child's request to change custody but it is under no obligation to modify the custody order at the child's request. The court would be looking for an appropriate reason to order a change in custody such as the custodial parent being unfit and the change being in the best interest of the child.
A child is free to decide which parent to live with in every state once they have reached eighteen years of age.

∙ 13y agoOnly Indiana and Texas has laws setting out a specific age at which a child can make a choice the court is requiredto abide by, and even than there are some limitations. With those states, it is age 14. In all other states, the general rule of thumb is that a 12 year old can express and opinion, however the judge is under not legal obligation to consider, or even hear it. In either case, a motion to the court must be filed for a determination to be made. However, the child should be informed that there are alternatives to choosing to live with just one parent. The child should also be advised they can express a choice that they remain in one home and each parent can live with them for a designated period of time, than switch. This is called Bird Nest Custody.

Does a parent still have to pay child support if child moves out on there own?
If the child is emancipated, which generally means self-sufficient, the obligor should be able to get the order for support terminated. Certainly, if the child is still under the obligations of the parents, you can file for custody, if if no emancipation takes place. If the child refuses parental control, than file to have them emancipated, but state laws vary from state to state on this. In New York, child support continues to age 21, regardless of where the child lives. see links below
Can you get emacipated at 17 in the state of Alabama?
In the US, it's highly unlikely that you will be emancipated. Emancipation is rarely granted to begin with, and when the minor has a child it reduces the chances of it being granted even further (for many reasons).
Does the state assist financially for the emancipated child?
If you mean after turning 18, no. Some states and some support agreements last after 18 or until school is over. If you mean by getting emancipated by the courts before you are 18, one of the requirements you have to fill to be emancipated is to be able to support yourself with a job and a place to live etc. So no.
If a minor child no longer lives at home is the parent still responsible for the child legally?
