If your parents are divorced and you live with my mom but you want to live with my dad is it legal?

Answer 1

How old are you? It really depends on what is written in the divorce papers. You might want to take some time to think about moving before you do. A lot of times kids from divorced parents move from parent to parent every time they get mad at one of theri parents. This isn't healthy for you! You need to accept that BOTH your parents are responsibile for you and have authority over you. You need to learn how to follow instructions even though you don't necessarily like being told what to do. Unless your mother is doing something illegal, there isn't a lot you can do. Talk to your dad and see if he is even OK with you moving in with him. I have a nephew who lives with his dad and wanted to move back with his mom and she said no.

Answer 2

Depends on the terms of the divorce. Some have equal parenting rights, and in those, the father has a legal right to see his child. In other cases, only one parent has the child, but this is mostly when the other parent has shown themselves incapable of caring for the child.

Of course there's always the matter of what the child wants, and what the parents say. But from a legal standpoint, most divorces let both parents see their child.
