My sons, ages 14 & 12, want to change their placement from their mother's home to mine. Their mother is being uncooperative and doesn't believe they actually want to do it - she believes I have manipulated them. Our homes are very different - she lives way out in the country and there are no other kids with which to play. The boys have said they don't really feel like a family in her home. I live in a large development that has a lot of other kids that mine have befriended. I have remarried (so has their mother) and have a 5 year old daughter.
Their mother moved away from our community 7 years ago - about an hour away. I have never missed a visitation nor a support payment. They have never missed an activity (baseball, soccer, birthday parties) because they were with me - I've always taken them. I also provide all the transportation to and from my home.
My question is: Will the court system be compelled to allow the change in placement based solely on the desire of my children?

They are definitely at an age where the judge will listen to their wants.
