Speak Up! - View Question #167 |
 printer friendly version
Question: I live with my mom and I want to live with my dad because me and my mom don't get along. My mom says that she won't let me go live with him. I don't want to stay with my mom, is there a law saying that if my dad takes me, he'll be charged with kidnapping?
Answer: If your mother has legal custody of you and your father takes you from her, he could be charged with custodial interference, a class 6 felony. If your father takes you out of state, he could be facing a class 4 felony. Your father must request a change of physical custody through the court, which may or may not be granted, depending on the circumstances of the case.
In any case, taking you from your mother without first obtaining the court's permission is not the solution. You might consider speaking with your school counselor about the problems you are having with your mother, maybe the counselor could help both you and your mom learn to get along better.

Both my parents hate me. I am the scape goat of the family. Everything I do is a flaw. They have both mentaly abused me and some physical and they are soon going to kick me out of the house, which is great.

I totally understand what you are all going threw. I have been a daddy's girl my whole life. Me and my mom dont get along at all. well we did until about 5-6 months ago when she got married. At first i was just asking to be able to go and see my dad more because i still wasnt comfotable with the fact that i had a dad figure in the house.

I asked her if i could start seeing him on the weekends and she still wouldnt let me. so now me and her really dont get along what so ever. It came to the point where she even told me that im ju
