if his father has all legal rights to him then the mother will have to go to court but if he doesn't he is allowed to go. so he could call the other parent to pick him up.
depends on the other parent and the one your going to live with
The court might ask what parent he wants to live with but they are in no way obligated to follow his wish and especially not if the parent were abusive.
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)
My mother and father divorced, so now I live with only one parent.
No, but see the related question.
If the parents are divorced then it is between the parents if the child can go live with the other parent. At age 14 the child can choose witch parent he/she wont's to live with. If that other parent is not willing to let the child go live with that parent then it can be taken to court or just wait till the child is 18 and can go live on it's own.
The other parent has the file a modification motion.see links
There are laws against child abuse. If your mother is actually abusing you, you could talk to a school counselor or to Child Protective Services. Assuming your other parent WANTS custody, evidence of abuse would be a very strong argument in their favor.
Not without consent of the other parent. In Michigan the Parent with custody has to live with in 80 miles of the other parent, or get written consent from the other parent and get that consent approved by the courts to live outside of that 80 miles.
We would discuss it with the other parent. The parent has the right to know.
Generally the law is not applicable when the other parent does not live in the starte.
Programs such as Medicaid and food assistance generally require that the children live with the parent who's getting the assistance. However, this can become hard to sort out in a joint custody situation.
