Question: Is there any way I can be sure that I get to live with only one of my parents in a divorce case?
Answer: These decisions are generally based on what is best for the child whose parents are getting divorced. The judge makes the final decision. Often the parents agree and the judge supports their decision. If the parents do not agree, the judge will try to figure out what is best. Sometimes the judge will ask to talk to the kids and sometimes the parents request that the judge talk to the children involved. Usually, if a judge decides that a child should live with just one parent, the judge will order visits with the other parent.

I am 14 and have decided I have had enough of my mother and stepfather because I can never have friends over or get to hang out anywhere else. I have decided to live with my father. What legal action can i take when I am only 14. The court says we have no say and we dont exist our thoughts and reasoning are important lets speak up and be heard.
