    Wants to live with mom but dad says no
    My dad has custody of me and I hate it. Me and my dad do not get along at all we fuss and fight every single day. I want to go and live with my mom but every time I bring it up he always gets mad and starts bad mouthing my mom. I ask to please let me go and live with my mom and he says well to bad its not your choice. What do I do to be able to go and live with my mom?:rolleyes:

    Does your dad have full custody of you?

    How old are you?

    I wish that my answer hinged on your feelings but in some cases, age really does matter...

    Knock yourself out to get along with your father. Do the chores you are supposed to do, do your homework without being told, stay within your curfew, clean up and pick up after yourself in the kitchen and bathroom, keep your room clean and make your bed every morning, change your sheets every two weeks, do your own laundry, wash the dishes or fill the dishwasher and turn it on. In other words, be an obedient and fun-to-live-with child.

    Do that for a month.

    Also, don't whine. Don't beg to live with your mom. Thank your dad for stuff like grocery shopping and going to work every day to support you. Be agreeable.

    Do that for a month too.

    Then see how the wind blows.

    My way has a chance to work. Whining and complaining won't do a thing for you.

    Very true Wondergirl! Dad's probably doing all he can to take care of you and when he hears you saying you want to live with Mom it is probably a bit of a low blow to him. Like stated above, try being a little different for a while and see if things change a bit.

    Wrong anwer-if a girl wants to quit living with her dad,and wants to live with her mom she should tell her mom to go to the courthouse and get a modification of the custody order. Then get a hearing date, then tell the judge that it is always in the best interest of a female child to live with her mother. That should work.Dad's should understand that they just don't have the mothering instinct that mom's do.
