In another one of your questions you said you and your dad were always fighting about things like school and friends. I know you probably don't want to hear this but it sounds to me like your dad is really concerned about what is best for you. Living with your mom may seem like a way out so that you can do what you want -- but it doesn't sound like that would be best for you. Maybe you could visit your mom more but I think you really need to stay with dad, try harder at school and talk to him about your friends. Find out what he doesn't like. Work with him girl.

Look past the money thing. You get out of a relationship what you put into it. If you move in with your mom, and the money is tight, you'll learn to adapt. You'll become resourceful, and you'll truly appreciate what you've got.
If you go with your dad, you may have more given to you, but then you don't learn about what you're capable of doing.
You don't say how old you are or how far apart your parents live, so I don't know if shared custody is possible, but it's something to consider if they're close.
If you do go with your mom, please resist the temptation in the heat of an argument to bring up the money issue. I can tell you, that would be something that would cut straight to her heart. She's going to do everything in her power to make things the best for you - even if it means doing without herself - because that's what moms do.
Which ever one you choose, love them both. Cherish them both forever. They are the only parents you'll ever have.

I wouldn't let finances make the decision for you, but that part about learning life lessons better sounds pretty important. If you think that living with your Dad will better prepare you for life as an adult, I would go with him. If your Mom lives in town you can visit and call all the time, and even if she doesn't, your dad sounds like the kind of guy who would probably spring for an unlimited long distance plan. Also, if he really loves you and tries to do his best by you, you might be able to talk to him about ways that he could do a better job of showing you that love. Whatever you do though, I wouldn't give up on either parent. I'm sure both of them have lots of love to give and lots of lessons to teach, whether or not you live with them. Best of luck. It sounds like you have some tough decisions ahead of you.

Both your parents love you so you shouldn't choose based on money BUT if you think you will be a financial burden on your mom at this time maybe it would be good of you to stay with your dad and let your mom know it is so she can get on her feet and get stable money wise, etc. before you move in with her. But if you go with your mom won't your dad have to pay her child support? If may work out that you can stay with her and get some financial help from dad.

SPEND SIX MONTHS WITH DAD AND SIX MONTHS WITH MOM. YOU ARE SIXTEEN. YOU DO THAT FOR 2 YEARS, THEN YOU ARE CONSIDERED AN ADULT ANYWAY AND WITH THAT YOU SHOW BOTH PARENTS LOYALTY AND LOVE AND REALLY DO NOT HAVE TO HURT ANYONE. IT WILL GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO FIND OUT IF DAD IS REALLY GOING TO BE THE DAD YOU EXPECT. AS FAR AS LIFE'S LESSONS AND CHANCES GO I WOULD SAY THAT YOU BETTER LOOK AT YOUR MOM AND OBSERVE WHAT SHE IS GOING THROUGH AND THEN BASE YOUR DECISION ON THAT: GET A GOOD EDUCATION SO THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN YOUR LIFESTYLE--WITHOUT A MAN. IF YOU HAPPEN TO GET MARRIED, THEN YOU KNOW IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG, YOU CAN AFFORD TO GIVE YOUR CHILDREN A GOOD LIFE, JUST BY THE FACT THAT YOU CHOSE TO GET AN EXCELLENT EDUCATION. I WOULD SAY THAT THIS IS PROBABLY YOUR BEST BET...GOOD LUCK

Think about your future right now. You need those leasons. Money is just a material thing, but go where you can learn the leasons well. Love will always be there no matter where you choose.

when you're goin over there along with your household (assuming you've one) then their readiness or willingness to flow to a diverse surroundings, with a diverse way of existence & anybody is extra issues that you'll consider than when you're happening my own. in most situations u . s . of america is the further constructive position to stay in in case you realize the right places in it to stay in, even as England's not a foul position to stay in both except for the ocassional undesirable climate and the taxes obviously. on your question of no matter if human beings would like you living there i ought to allow you to realize that they'd be almost continuously detached, with the U. S. being a melting pot of numerous international nationalities this can'nt be a marvel. i imagine the in ordinary words those that they probably received't take kindly to are human beings from the arab international locations. the in ordinary words way you could journey such issues is in case you flow and stay in say an all black, latino or jewish neighbourhood etc OR if through any danger you one way or the different look to them as snobbish and haughty making them sense that you imagine you're extra constructive than they're then you truthfully're probably to have that situation of them disliking you living between them. even as i understand an excellent type of human beings do love the English accessory, each in certain situations & frequently situations this will be what makes you look to them as snobbish and/or haughty, so as a lot as available attempt to substantiate you dodge arguing with every person over there. Oh and ultimately attempt now to not envision with american football as american football once you're discussing with any american reason they'll sense antagonised and could react to you in that way even even with the undeniable fact that your not at fault & do not ignore to call football "football" in the different case they'll assume your relating theirs and wont understand that your actual talking about something else, you'd be suprised to understand the way oblivious human beings are to football, so dont ignore now to not make such blunders. i imagine i have stated plenty, even with the undeniable fact that it had to be stated so that you realize. i am going to leave it that you'll ensure & I choose you goodluck on decision.
