    Question: How old do I have to be to choose who I live with?

    Answer: The judge makes the final decision in custody cases. 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 live with my mom, and i have been liveing with her for my whole life (14years). Now that i want to go live with my dad, she wont let me, she says i dont have a good enough reason. Tell me if this is a good reason.... I have been liveing with her all my life, and i love my dad and stepmom, cant i spend my last few years with my dad??? I need some good advice. To tell u the truth i open up to my stepmom more than i do to my real mom, i tell my stepmom alot more than i do my mom. My real moms reason for not letting me go with my dad is cause my step mom has 2 teen boys liveing in the house.

    My parents have been divorced for as long as I can remember. I hate my mom absoultly hate her I want to live with my dad. Since I was 7 I have been fighting to live with my dad but still I haven't gotten to live with him. I am almost 13 I wish to live with my dad and aren't I old enough to chose I think this is no fair to me it seems as if judges don't think we kids can think for our selves but we can so why don't think we can chose.

    My parents fight about who gets me over the summer for as long as i can remember. This summer the only thing i knew to do was look at the papers and I did and it looked like my mom was right, that my dad had too many days. So i told my dad i wasn't coming till a certain date to cover those days. Now he won't let me go back to my moms house. I miss my mom so much and my dad never lets me do anything. He took the phone away from me so now i can't even call my mom. Is there anything i can do??? And once you turn 15 can't i choose whether or not i want to go to the opposite parents house?
