Choosing which parent I want to live with?

I am 15 years old and currently live with my mom in Ireland. My parents weren't ever married but the split up when I was 6months old. My dad lives in America with his wife, and I have visited them every summer since I was 4 or 5. Now I want to move here but need to knowif it's possible for me to choose who I want to live with. Would we have to go to court or whatever? =PChoosing which parent I want to live with?
Talk to your dad and tell him that you want to live there with him, your legally old enough to chose who you want to live with and it's entirely your choice.





As far as i'm aware you wouldn't need to go to court unless your parents chose to fight over who gets custody.. If your mum understands your decision and is cool with it there's no problem.





Your mum may try to persuade you not to go but if it's really what you want and whats best, stand your ground.





Good luck :DChoosing which parent I want to live with?
First off you would have to talk to your Mom and Dad about it. If they both agree then it should be no problem. But, if your Mom disagrees and your Dad would like you to move in with him, he would have to go to court to obtain custody. Which being you are in Ireland and he is in America that makes it a little difficult. Hopefully your parents will decide in your favor. I am divorced and my kids have always lived with me (same state as their Dad though) but, if they truly wanted to move in with Dad - I would be sad but, I wouldn't stop them. Good luck to you!
It may be a little more difficult because of where you live. Would you not rather finish school first? It is harder to continue and finish your schooling in a different country. Find out first what is required, check with the laws in Ireland. I don't believe you could just up and leave. Have you also discussed this with your mother? She may be heartbroken if you leave. Have you discussed this with your father? What does he have to say? A summer visit is nothing like having someone live with you and be responsible for that person. Most likely you would have to go to court, and if your mother does not want you to go, what's to say the courts would let you leave? And who would pay for all of this? There is a lot to think about
U do have to go to court because of school and other things that might have to have parental consent.No matter who U live with,U have a mother and a father who lives with his wife. U have people who love U. U can get a joint custody which means U can live with both parents,here in America and in Ireland. U are very lucky to have both ur parents.(:(:(:


I always wanted to visit Ireland, beautiful place huh!(:(:(:
Well, yes. A court hearing for your custody would be required.





And as for deciding who you want to live with. See who treats you better (but for the right reasons though).





For example, my friend lives with his dad and visits his mom on weekends. His mom treats him really well, but we all know it's only because she only sees him on weekends. In that case, I would tell him to live with his dad.
You can choose. You would only have to go to court if your mum said no to your living with your dad. But you need to consider these points first. Does he want you to go and live with him? Is his wife happy to take on a 15 year old, and have you thought about on the impact on your education moving at this time?
If you throw a convincing case to your mother, she might let you live with your father. I am sure that if both of your parents okay it and possibly get some paperwork done, you dad could have full custody over you. I think going to court over the matter would only be if your parents can't agree on terms and such, like how often you should go to visit your mother if you move in with your dad. :)
You're 15 years old meaning that they can consider custody. I'm not positive if you're able to chose who you wanna live with (unless your parents are okay with it) but..considering the law the court choses who gets custody especially if both want you to live with them.
that would be up to you and your parents,


you may live with your dad yet still opt to be with your mom,.


or both of them would be the ones to decide.





actually, you're lucky your dad's nice. he still loves you...and his wife's willing to accept you
Since you'd be living in another country, there will probably be some legalities to consider. I have no clue what they might be. If you wanted to keep living in the US, you wouldn't be naturalized as a citizen unless you were born there.
I think you might have to go to court, so one of your parents get's


custody of you ,if one of them are fighting to see who get's you.


Not sure.
If they were never married I dont think they would have to go to court. Your 15 your parents should respect what you want to do. If they dont, then do it anyways...
AMERICA!!! **** YEAH!!!
Better live with your MOM.


What abt the character of ur step-mother?


Remember:


';A CONSTANT GUEST IS NEVER WELCOME';
Ask your Mom and Dad
yes court probably unless your parents are kool like that
