The courts can make the decision to place a 13 year older in the right living situation that will better benefit their well-being. All the child needs to do is get the help of another older family member. It should be an easy process if the mom dies and the mentally-ill dad does not have custody.
YES! not all mothers should be granted full custody of their children!
In the UK at least, it is the mother's decision, unless there are other overpowering factors eg. custody. (:
yes, she can get a divorce in a Canadian Court however, the custody of said child will have to be a decision for a family court judge
It depends on who has legal custody.If he has sole legal custody he can make that decision alone. If he has joint legal custody he must include the child's mother in the decision. If the mother has legal custody then he does not have the right to make the decision have the child treated except in an emergency. If you have questions about your parental rights you should speak with an advocate at the court or a private attorney.It depends on who has legal custody.If he has sole legal custody he can make that decision alone.

The child can suggest perhaps, but the final decision rests with the couple and the judge. What usually happens is that couples will have Joint Legal Custody, but one parent or the other will have Primary Custody, leaving the other with Visitation Rights.

Courts will sometimes give custody of children to mentally ill or borderline mothers. It will depend upon the severity of their cases and they will be assigned social workers.
If your mother has sole custody, then it will be up to her. If your parents share custody, they will be able to discuss the matter and come to a decision they both agree on. If the custody agreement says you will spend time with your father when you reach age 14, then it would be so. However, custody arrangements where your custody changes based on your age are quite rare. My guess is your mother will be the one who makes the final decision on this matter.
