I'm 15 years old and my youngest brother is now 14 years old. After mum died, our older brothers fight for custody of me and my youngest brother. Me and and youngest brother have a different father from our older brothers. However, we pretty much being raise together...but our age gap is huge. My oldest brother is now 26, my second older brother is 25 and my third oldesr is now 22. My third older brother live together with our oldest brother in the city nearby. After mum died, my oldest brother want me and my youngest brother live with him and our third older brother.However, my second older brother want us to live with him. Me and my youngest brother prefer to live with our second brother as he's kinda of a cool type of brother compare to our eldest brother which is known as a very strict brother. I had a history being slap by my eldest brother when he caught me smoking. I really want to stay with my second older brother.Can we make our own decision here?

I am really sorry to hear that you lost your Mum. It must be a difficult time for you all.
I think if you are 14yrs and older, you can choose your own legal guardian.
But think carefully who you want to live with. Sometimes a brother who is too lenient might not be looking out for your welfare as much as a brother who is strict and wanting to guide you to adulthood. There are some tough choices ahead of you, so I wish you all the best for the future, hon.

I believe that if your mum's will has said who will look after you: whoever she named will look after you. If it didn't say anything about it (or didn't exist) I believe a judge decides who you live with.
The judge will consider various things. Your preference for brother no2 would be taken into consideration, as will whether each brother wants to look after you. However, an argument that your eldest brother disciplined you for smoking is not going to be a reason for you not to live with him. You broke the law by smoking underage, and therefore being disciplined is, in the eyes of the law, the correct thing. Your eldest brother is only trying to protect your health. All in all, it's more likely to make the judge think your eldest brother would be a good guardian.

First off, I'm sorry to hear of your mom's passing. :(
Did she have a will? If she did, it's probably listed in there who gets custody of all of you (saying she placed that in her will).
You also need to know the laws for your state. Where I live if a person is 12 years old they can choose, but must have the consent of the future guardian.

You would have to prove to a judge that you can take care of yourself. You would have to find a job with a good salary to provide a roof over head and put food on the table. You will have to get your GED since you would not have time to attend high school and do homework while you were working.
