If your mom has legal custody of you, then no, you can't go live with your dad without your mom's consent. If your dad wants custody he will have to petition the court for custody of you, which would require him hiring an attorney.

As for you making your own decision as to which parent you prefer to live with, the judge will possibly ask you which parent you want to live with and why, and then may use your preference in making his determination, but it won't guarantee that you will still get to live with your dad.
