If he is on parole his parole officer may have a problem with him living with a child for a number of reasons. You should contact an attorney and let him know the circumstances and see if he can talk to the parole officer. He can ask for a hearing on the issue.

Who he can live with may be a condition of his parol. You would have to look at his orders to make this determination.

If you are an adult, you have freedom to make your own mistakes unless the terms of his parole restrict him.

When he is on parole he has to follow what the State tells him until he is done with parole. So the answer is yes.

The law could keep you from moving in with him if you are also a felon.

Generally no. If he abused you there might be a condition of bail preventing him from having contact with you.

Yes and No. The law cannot stop you, yourself from moving in with your father. However, if a condition of his parole is that he have no contact with you then the law can stop him. If he has such a condition and violates it he will go back to prison.
