I want to live with my dad, but I have lived with my mom fro 13 years do we have to go in court to settle this or does everyone have to agree? Also can I go there because I don't like how I'm living there like ruining my teen and child hood?:(

You all have to agree and/or go to court. The Judge will not rule according to what is more convenient for you though so if you think wanting to live with your dad cause your mom doesn't allow you to do certain things, it doesn't work that way.

First it all depends on what type of custody agreement is in place now, if they have a joint custody, it may be just a matter of both of them agreeing, but if you mom has custody, they have to go back to court, now if both agree that is easy, they file a motion with the court, may not even have to appear depending on state.

Also if they go to court and don't agree what you want will be listened to, but also the jduge will consider what is best for you.
