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.

Why is it that the child should seek counseling and not the Mother when it is only apparent that it is her problem. Why is it so wrong to live with Dad? The child loves his Dad and the only reason mom don't want him to live with Dad is because she won't get the check and that stinks.Think of the child for a change his or her happiness. Why does Dad have to beg to see his child. And why assume that mom is the better parent just because she is a woman.
