Question: I live with my dad. my dad is going to court so my sister and me can live with him then with my mom. the jugde said that we have to go and live with my mom can me and my sister get emancipated and live with my dad or not. also what if he said just one of use has to live with her can that one get emancipated sinc my mom lied in the court how and we can proof some of it but the jugde will not hear what my dad has to say. so what can i do beause i would rather go to jail or run away if i have go live with my mom.
Answer: In Arizona right now, you cannot become emancipated just because you want to live with another parent.
In cases like yours where the judge decides which parent the kids have to live with, the judge looks at many things to make his decision. He or she must decide what he finds is best for you (the child), not just what you want.
Since you are so upset about living with your mom, talk to your dad's lawyer (if he has one) or ask to speak with the judge and tell him or her how you feel. If you cannot talk to the judge or lawyer, call the Arizona Children's Law Center at 602-258-3434 extension 266. They can give you advice too.
