You can not choose where to live until your are 18. And I'm sure the court knew that you want to live with them but they have to side with what is right for the child. They know a child loves both his parents but they have to do what is best for him regardless of what he and the parents feel sometimes. I'm sure your parents and you love each other very much but that does not mean they know how to create a good environment for you. It's hard to see sometimes as a kid but often it's something you realize when you yourself becomes a parent if not before that. There is still visitation rights they can apply for.

If the parents were never married the mother has custody in every state in the US. If the unmarried father of a child wants custody or visitation he must establish his paternity through DNA testing. If the parents are married then both have equal parental rights. If they are divorced there should be a custody order in place.In either case you need to consult with an attorney or a legal advocate at the court to determine if the father can give up his parental rights and obligations under your state laws.Generally:First, custody depends on the parents' marital status.
