I love my mom but I can't stand her. Likeif anythine happened to her id be upset but we just dont get along and i feel so unhappy when i'm with my mom (most of the year). I love my stepdad he's great and helps out with me more than my own mom does. My dad is great and financially stronger. I get along with him better although he hasn't taken all the time he can to see me (i see him every other weekend). I know if i moved wiht him and his gf and her children i'd be happier. id also save 3,000 dollars a year and 6 hours on a bus for everyday to get to hs...I'd also be in a biigger family becuase since my brother has left im home alone a lot. My mom says its for my own good but i think it has to do with child support, then child support for m brother and i wouldn't be going towards her. Although we don't see it anyways-it goes towards her clothes.
How do i Move in with my dad? I know go to court but how would I start that process, anyone have any ideas
ps. sorry its sooo long =]

My parents have equal custody of me. I have lived my dad for weeks where i had to go to school from his house. I get along with his gf's children great! we were friends before her and her husband got divorced

If you are fourteen you are old enough to make that decision yourself. Ask your dad about it and see what his feeling are.
My two daughters chose to live with me instead of their mother. I'm very happy they did because I know that they got what they needed to live in a healthy environment. My kids didn't have to go through the court they just told me they wanted to stay and it was a done deal. My youngest was 12 and the oldest 14. They are now 18 and 20 and have a great balance in their life. Good luck to you and I hope it works out for you also.

tell your dad, he will have to get an attorney if your mom doesn't agree. than they may appoint u a guardian addendum, he is like your attorney out for your interest. usually what the child wants he goes by, and the courts will honor. your mom could fight your dad on this if she is not in agreement. just be truthful and honest about the issues of why u want to move with dad. but being 14, u really do have the right to pick what ever parent u wish to live with.

actually, im 14 too and my parents are divorced also and i had the same problem. but i wanted to move in with my mom, so i know how you feel. first what you have to do is to tell each parent what you want and your reasons. Your parents should do all the court work and you MIGHT not have to go to court at all. communication is the only thing keeping you from staying with your dad.

How is it you KNOW you'd be happier at your Dads? Is it a possibility for you to go and live there, or just something you want to do? Do they have room? Do you get on with your Dads stepchildren? If you do this your Mom may be so hurt, there'd be no going back so you'd better be sure. I suggest first of all you talk to your Dad. Maybe he could talk to your Mom about you going there on a trial basis to see if everyone gets on.

there is not any longer something incorrect with you, you're merely very harm by ability of your daughters determination to stay together with her dad. maximum folk could be harm too. the main severe factor is to no longer get mad at her and punish her, which will merely push her away much greater. Remind her which you nonetheless love her no remember what and you frequently will. possibly attempt to grow to be closer together with her like, possibly a week pass out to dinner, or take her out for ice cream, or perhaps see a action picture at the same time. attempt to make your relationship greater suitable. by ability of August you will in all risk be so excited which you get to spend a week (or in spite of if long your holiday is) at the same time. you have each good to be harm, yet being indignant and harm, will no longer substitute something. the main severe factor is that she is conscious how plenty you adore her and that this could no longer substitute that throughout the time of any respect.

actually tell your dad you want to move in, and tell your mom at the same time, give her the reasons, and there is nothing she can do about it. you are 14 and can make that decision on your own whether one parent likes it or not...now don't think one day before you're 18 you can just move in with a BF that you can't do. talk to both parents at once and let them both know what you want. Either way you can do it

If you get your Mothers approval then there's no big deal. If your Stepfather adopted you than it becimes a court issue because in some States I think you have to be 15 or 16 to legally make your own choice otherwise wihtout your Mothers consent, you have to stay with her.

If your angry about something, I would suggest giving yourself a little time to think things through. It is also very common for teenage daughters not to get along with their mothers (I didn't), but money isn't everything. And, now I wouldn't trade her for the world. Best wishes.
