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.

Can someone help my grandson? He cries when he has to go back to live with his Dad. My daughter has custody, but is in a treatment center for about 12 more days. The little guy has been raised by his Great-Grandma and he doesn't want to go with his Father. We have him in couseling every week. Before he leaves for his Father's house he stays up and cries with his caretaker(since birth). My daughter never wanted to take the Father away because her Father died of a drug overdose. Now we are stuck seeing this young child suffer. Anthony wants me to serve his Father with papers to give tempo
