This close to eightteen she should be able to do so. Most states give permission to a child of twelve when he or she wants to live with the other parent. If not she can always emancipate herself from her father
Below is a website where you can find state specific laws concerning child emancipation.

If thats not what she wants to do, then I would suggest that you and she or at the very least you, see an attorney and see what your rights are in your divorce concerning your child (ren).
Check with your state's laws about Child Custody.
You may be able to get a temporary Custody order for your daughter, since she is so close to 18 she wont be a child (in the eyes of the law) for very much longer.
PLEASE SEE AN ATTORNEY and if you have to check with CPS, but only if you have to. ALWAYS go with an attorney first.

Yes she can, I moved out of my house when I was 17 years old and 7 months which means that I had about 5 months to go up until my 17th birthday, you might need an affidavit though, to my understanding. It also depends on what state you live in which I don't think will be a problem because even though she is a minor, if she's going to live with non-custodial parent it should not be a problem.

In ohio my state you can choose who you want to live with which legal gardian that is at age 13 and even younger if competent to do so. If you have any kind of custody of her you have the right to have her live with you if she wants

i think its like 16 when they can make up ther mind of who they want to live with but hopefully if she talks to her dad he may understand i mean she an 18 year old girl she needs her mother and if he loves her he should let her go. Daddy has to let his little girl go sometime :) good luck!!

i might want to assert it really is eighteen for his determination to bypass in which includes her. except that it would want to easily be a court docket case dispute of who might want to be better acceptable that you'll win. because he's legally not an grownup till 18 and also you're responsible for his judgements as his followed be sure till then.

Wouldnt it just be easier to wait the 3 mos?
Talk to her dad, see how he feels about this, if he loves his daughter why would 3 mos make that much difference to him?

i think she can legally live with either parent of her choosing after age 14 ... at 18, she can live anywhere she wants

I WOULD SAY "YES" CHILDREN ONLY HAVE TO BE 14 IN MOST STATES TO DECIDE WHOM THEY WANT TO LIVE WITH.
