As of now iam a 14 year old boy living with his mother in a small town in CA. My parents are divorced and i visit my dad in seattle ever summer and winter. I want to live with my dad in seattle (Kent WA.) but my mom doesnt want me to my dad has tried to talking to the attorny about it but he said we would most likely lose the case. My dads house is so much better than my moms house and the conditions are better for me. Currently my plan was to wait till i was 18 and soon as senior year is over i will move up with my dad and to go to college. But recently ive had thoughts of running away once i get my drivers licence. What should i do?

more details:
I keep on telling my mom that i should move with my dad and its not like i would never see her again i would see her during summer and winter if i moved. Also I think i need a father right now to teach my guy things i personally dislike my step father. He is lazy and never does anything for me and my mom is never home while my dad is home every day because he works graveyard. I have a lot more fun at my dads house to we like the same stuff i love shooting guns and stuff like that and i will never be able to do that with my mom. Ive been living with my mom for my whole life while ive only been with my dad for 6 years it seems only fair that i can atleast spend my last 2 years with him. Also i have a closer family up there i love my stepbrothers there and my step mom while in CA. i dislike my step dad and always have to worry about getting my stuff stolen in my house cause i never know if my step brother will steal my stuff.

Well, first off I would talk to your mom about how you feel and see if you and her can't come to some agreement. And if you can't
then have your dad look into an attorney who will take into account how you feel. You are old enough where where you live should play into the decision of the judge. Running away really isn't a good plan as it puts stress on everyone and really doesn't solve anything. Good luck with everything.

You suppose individual college is terrible? You do not must be dependable for someone however your self, simply take a seat again and sit back. you can be loose finally, believe me freedom is not high-quality. Feel dangerous in your dad and mom, they definitely care in the event that they pay in your individual college and do not beat you, and also you wish to strain them out through leaving. try to suppose you care approximately anyone different then your self and that character runs off with none concept tips on how to deal with themselves.

Have you tried talking to your mom about living with your dad? Just tell her why you feel more comfortable being with your dad and try to bring up the fact that school will be much better for you. I was like you at some degree never communicating with my estranged mom and always living with my friends from time to time, but now we've seemed to patch things up. If you don't want to talk to her right away then don't. It's best to talk to her when she's in a calm mood and when your ready. But I warn you from experience that if you bottle things up, they tend to come out at times least expected, often the worst times.

in some states at 14 and or 16 the child can make up there mind where they want to live.. talk to a lawyer about it.. most time first visit is free.. but you also need to talk to both parents about it... maybe you can change your mothers mind.. but dont run away.. soemthing bad could happen and then everything would be in a mess.. good luck

well, i too am a teenager, so i know how you can feel sometimes. i dont understand why exactly you would want to leave your mom, but i totally understand how you feel about running away. i know if i had the chance to move, i would take it. but before you do anything i suggest you talk to a councillor, like at school, or online or something, just to get an opinion from an adult. i know in canada we have kids help phone (http://www.kidshelpphone.ca or you can call them for free 1-800-668-6868)
best of luck!

Honestly. Do not run away. Your problems will get worse. and there are a lof of crazy people out there outside of your parents houses. talk to your parents seperately. or a close relative. but do not run away. i did it once and it was a nightmare.
