Yes, if both parents agree. If it's the minor child or the non-custodial parent who wishes to make the change, it becomes more complicated and there are two ways it could be approached.

  • The non-custodial parent could petition the court of jurisdiction over the custody arrangement for a modification, then present a compelling case why it would be in the best interests of the child to live with them;
  • The minor child could write to the judge or retain an attorney or guardian ad litem to ask the judge on their behalf for a modification to the custody order, allowing them to reside with the other parent.

The judge does not have to honor the child's wishes, however, the older the child, the greater weight is given to their request.

Is there a difference in a parent who has custody of the children but not married vs the parent that does not have custody and is getting married and is fighting for custody of the children?

Being married or unmarried is not much of a determining factor when it comes to custody nowadays. In order to have custody changed you would need to prove that either your household and parenting abilities are substantially better than the other parent, or that their situation is detrimental to the children. Having a spouse does not necessarily mean that you are better able to care for the children, especially if the other parent has had custody for a significant length of time without the children having any problems in a single parent household.


If One parent has full custody but child wants to live with noncustodial parent?

They recently changed the laws of custody, No one parent has full custody UNLESS they see the other parent as unstable and unfit. If the parent you want to live with has been deemed unfit as a parent then it will have to be taken to court or you can contact certain child organizations to give you more details about how to leave your current home and return to the home of an "unfit parent" However if one parent obtained full custody of the child and the other parent was not deemed unfit as a parent, you may still live with them because of the recent change in custody laws, stating no one parent can have full or primary custody. (in other words, if your mom has full custody and your dad has none ((Also assuming the father hasn't been charged with being a drug addict, alcoholic, or financially unstable etc.)) you may live with the father)
