Sit both of your parents down and tell them how you feel. You have no right to decide by yourself until you are 18 so this is your best chance.
you have to fight for custody
* If the father has full custody of the children, yes. * If he has partial or shared custody with the mother, it may be a violation of parental rights; that area is quite dicey, so talk to a lawyer. * If the father has no custody but does have visiting rights, then again, talk to your lawyer. * If the father has no rights to the children, then there is no crime committed.
you are 16 dad has custody you want to live with your mom Okay ^^^ I want to know can I go live with my mom I am 16 and my dad has custody
No, it's the parents who decide where you will live until you are 18yo.
No. If this is a case where you want to live with the non-custodial parent, then the non-custodial parent can petition for a change in custody. If this is a case where you want to live somewhere other than with a parent, that won't happen without your parents permission unless your parents are proven to be unfit (it takes A LOT to prove unfitness) and even then you may end up in the custody of the state, instead with whomever it is that you're wanting to live with (for example, the court will not award custody to your boyfriends parents, but they award custody to one of your family members).
At 16 your parents (as long as they have custody and you have not been emancipated in some manner) get to decide where you live. Is this a divorce situation and you
If the parents agree to give up parental rights, and the grandmother adopts the kid, then yes.
If a child wants to live with the non-custodial parent, the parents will have to go back through the court system to change the custody agreement. Most states will allow the opinion of a 14 year old child as to where they want to live.
If the parents do not agree then you will need to petition the court for custody. Your granddaughter's wishes will be evaluated by the judge along with the rest of the information. The wishes of the parents are also very important because they are legally responsible until and unless the court awards custody to you. If the parents do agree then you should contact a lawyer to get the appropriate custody paperwork.
If you really want to live with your dad and not your mom anymore you can talk to your parents and they can go back to court and have the custody order modified. If they do not agree there is nothing to do but wait until you are 18.
If you are a minor and you are living with your mom and you want to live with your dad you can ask your parents for a change of custody. If that is unsuccessful you can petition the court but will need to present a viable reason for wanting to switch.
The 16yo is a minor and unless she is emancipated she can not decide where to live. If the grandmother have custody you have to go to court to get her back but if you still have custody the grandmother have no right to keep her.
