    Your mom has to file in court for a change in custody. The court will listen to all parties, including you, then make a decision.

    My mom wants to avoid court though. What do I do then?

    Stick it out 3 more years, then you can live wherever you want.

    Well if your dad is threatening you send you to live with your mother anyway, then maybe they should just try to talk about it. Maybe it would work.

    She can't avoid court. Your father was awarded custody by the court. The only way to change that is modify the court order. Even if dad says you can move in, he can change his mind and order you back as long as he has legal custody.
