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
yes because no one have custody.
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.
It is natural to want to live with your mom in light of your dad's problems.
You are required to live with the parent that your custody decree awarded custody to. It doesn't matter what you want. If your dad has custody and you run away to live with your mom instead, it's even possible your mom could go to jail for this. If you think you can convince a court that it's in your best interest to modify the custody decree and award your mother custody instead, then you can always get a lawyer to petition the court to revise the custody decree.
If Mom has custody then she gets to decide where you live. You can move in with Dad if Mom agrees to it. Otherwise, Dad would have to petition for a change of custody.
You could still live with your mom and your dad, but you need to leave when your 18 by yourself. But if you don't want to you could stay with your dad... if your mom lets you. That's what I think. Your mom can give consent and you don't have to go through a process, but yes you can emancipate at 15. Or wait it out until you're 18. if there's something serious going on just tell your father, too, and he can bring it up in court and get custody. What you're talking about is not emancipation. It's a change of custody. Dad would have to petition the court for custody.
Only if your father agrees to allow it.
If your mom has legal custody of you, then no, you can't go live with your dad without your mom's consent. If your dad wants custody he will have to petition the court for custody of you, which would require him hiring an attorney. As for you making your own decision as to which parent you prefer to live with, the judge will possibly ask you which parent you want to live with and why, and then may use your preference in making his determination, but it won't guarantee that you will still get to live with your dad.
If you are a minor, you can discuss your preference with your parents and possibly seek mediation or legal advice. It's important to communicate openly and respectfully about your feelings and concerns. Your well-being and happiness should be the top priority for both parents.
No, your parents can see to that she gets custody of you.
I'm assuming Dad has custody. If so, then Mom would have to petition the court for a change of custody. At 16, the court would allow you to tell the judge who you want to live with and they will take that (along with other things) into consideration when making the final decision.
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.
