Really consider the man you're asking to live with. He molested your half sister. You say she's older, but was she old enough that she wasn't a child at the time? I know he's your father, and you don't want to think badly of him. But at the same time, what are you going to do if he does try something with you? Or with one of your friends?
To me, this sounds like it's more about getting away from Mom's control than anything to do with your Dad. I think you're painting a bleak picture of Vegas because you want out. I doubt it's much worse than any other major city. You haven't seen your father in 4-5 years, do you really know anything about him? Before you make this into a big issue and take it to court, I'd suggest you try to visit your father for a couple of weeks. Find out if he's even someone you want to live with. You haven't mentioned anything bad about Mom except that she's protective. So I think Mom is just looking out for you.

Wow, what a lot of problems to take on as a child. I don't know how old you are. Do you talk to your dad, if so how often, does he know how you feel? The court system doesn't look at what you want, it looks at who has the best interest of the child(as if they even know) . However, usually the only cases I have heard of where custody changes is when the primary caretake does really bad things( like criminal). If you are just fighting with your mother because your a teenager that is different. I would suggest to speak with your father, see what he has to say, he would be the one to start court proceedings for custody. I know where your coming from, my parents divorced when I was 10, my mother and I never got along, and we still don't till this day and I am 33 now. However, as a teen my dad couldn't take care of me, when I was 18, I was able to live with him.

a long time. trust me i know but part of that was my moms fault becuase she wouldnt let me go and it sounds like your mom wouldnt let you go either.. my court thing lasted 2 years from when i was 12 to when i was 14 +1/2. so dont count on anything soon. court takes way to long and cost alot i guess and nothing gets done soon unless one parent is willing to give you up and even then it takes too long
just make sure your makeing the right decisiion becuase it will forever make your relationship with your mom horrible and if your dad turns out not to be a good choice then your screwed

Normally I believe a child should have equal time with both parents. But in your case your father is a child molester, and that is not a safe place for you to be. If he will do it to one child he will do it to others, and you being his "real" daughter might not save you. Stay with mom and keep out of trouble. Vegas is not that bad.

Court could take forever. If you want to live with your dad then go to court with him and your mom as soon as possible so you can go to school in california.

It is highly doubtful that the court would let you live with your dad, and there is also a question in my mind as to weather he would want you to live with him , if you could.

i would never let you go and live with our dad and i hope a court wounldnt either....if he molested your older sister why would you want to go and live with him????? and i dont blame your mom for not letting you see him either... my sons dad lives in las vegas and i dont let him see my son either for giving him a spanking. so just stay with your mom...and why didnt your dad go to jail/prison for being a pervert.

Go right ahead and move in with your Dad. I am sure he has been waiting a long time to molest you too. DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!
