By writing to the judge with jurisdiction over the custody arrangement or engaging an attorney or guardian ad litem to petition the court stating your wishes. Depending on your age and what the court feels would be in your best interests, your preference may or may not be granted.

Can a 15-year old decide which parent they want to live with in Georgia?

Your father (the non-custodial parent) would have to petition the court to have custody changed. At your age, you would be given to chance to tell the court who you would prefer to live with. The court makes the final decision, but they will take your wishes into consideration when making that decision.


Does the custodial parent have the right to know where the child is when the non custodial parent has the child?

As long as the NCP - and CP for that matter - abides by the court order, and provides phone access, then the other parent doesn't need the address of every place the child will be visiting. The permanent residence, however, needs to be known.

Can you force child visitation?

I think you mean if the visiting parent has a court ordered visitation. If the parent has court ordered visitation then yes the child is forced to be with the parent, that is what the court order is for. If the parent has no court order than legally the answer is "no" but i think if both parents agreed to a time for one of them to spend time with their child the child being a minor must do as the parents tell him or her to do.


How does a class h felony effect child custody?

It is possible that the other parent could petition the court to have your custody or visitation limited or revoked as being a bad influence on the child. What the court's ruling might be, no one can tell.


In North Carolina how old do you have to be to move in with a certain parent?

Whichever parent has legal custody of you is who you have to live with until you reach the age of majority (which is normally 18, but in some states it's higher--it's never lower) unless that parent gives you permission to live with the non-custodial parent. However, the non-custodial parent can petition the court to have custody changed. If you are a teenager (and I assume you are) then you would be given to chance to tell the court who you would prefer to live with. The court makes the final decision, but they will take your wishes into consideration when making that decision.


Can a 17 year old move out of parent home in Missouri?

Yes, if you have your parent's permission. Without that you are still required to live where they tell you to.


Can a 16-year-old choose to live with his non custodial parent in Missouri?

Once you are 14 years of age you can choose if you want to live with your mother or your father. you have to talk to a judge about it so they can make it legal for you to move in with your other parent and make it so they have costody over you. ~Erica~ Minors are not allowed to choose with whom they wish to live, this includes parents, grandparents and other relatives. In cases of parental custodianship the court usually does not intervene when a minor moves from the custodial parent's home to the non custodial parent's home until (unless) the custodial parent files a request to have the minor returned to the primary residence. The matter can become very involved especially if there is a child support order in place pertaining to the non custodial parent. If this is the case said parent cannot cease paying child support without the risk of being in contempt of a court order and thereby incurring futher legal difficulties.


The non custodial parent and you were never married and he owe over 7000 in child support and it is not court ordered for visitation Do you have to tell him if you are leaving town or the state?

You are never required to notify the other parent directly, however if custody was ever addressed in court you may be required to notify the family court if you intend to move out of state with the child. This is to ensure that the court can protect the rights of the child and the non custodial parent. In your situation since no visitation was ever ordered you shouldn't have a problem taking the child out of state.


Can you stop your ex from having contact with your son?

Not if they are the parent unless they have been found unfit to have contact by the court so you have a court order. If he/she is not the parent you speak to the police and ask them to tell him/her to back off. If that doesn't work get a restraining order.
