You don't say how old you are but in the link below you can click on your age and see. This is for under 16yo:

If your parents have separated, there might be court orders deciding your day-to-day care (i.e.. where you should live and who with). In this case your parent(s) may apply to the Family Court to have the orders changed or 'varied', if you decide you want to change where you are living. If your parents won't apply to the court for this then you can apply (if the Court agrees) for an order changing the arrangements. The Court will consider what is in your best interests.
