Am I old enough to decide which parent I live with?
2017-02-04 8:06 pm
I'm 15 and currently living with my mum, I get a long with her and everything but I only see my dad once a week and I know I'm lucky because some people don't see their fathers as often as that when their parents are split up but I would like to move in with him so I can spend more time with him now I'm going up.. my mums had custody of me since I was 3 and a half when they split up and I know my dad doesn't feel as involved in mine and my sisters life and I just feel like I'd prefer living with him now I'm older. I'm doing my GCSE's soon and me and my mum are always arguing which causes more stress but I know I don't help that, I get into trouble at school sometimes but she doesn't discipline me as such and my dad does so I feel like it would benefit me more? Obviously I know I need to talk to him about it and I'm sure he will be fine with it but I've already asked her once and she told me to f*ck off.. am I old enough to decide who I live with?

Yes, you are old enough to decide. But, technically if the court says otherwise, you can't. If you want to like with your dad, your mom should indeed understand

Children don't get to decide where they want to live. When you're a legal adult at age 18, you can make those decisions.

you might be old enough to decide which parent you want to live with, i would talk to your dad about it and see if he can work something out

I am a kid of divorced parents as well. I chose my mother.Your father is the 'good' guy, he only sees you once in awhile. He doesn't have a lot of things to do while your mother has to do all of the hard work. How would you feel if you were in her position? Stressed out? Wouldn't you feel like things are unfair? If your father wants to see you he can easily come more often. Or is he too busy to do that? The reason why she probably told you to **** off might be because she felt stressful and hurt that you asked something like that. When you raise a kid from such a young age it hurts to have them tell you they want to go with the other parent. I'm not taking her side of course. She should have been kinder but I also understand her. She will feel betrayed if you go with your father though. She has been taking care of you for so many years and now just because things are getting more difficult doesn't mean that you should leave. However if you really want to go, then do it!
