so im 16 n my sis is 14 we have alwayz wanted ta live wit our mom. so we finally went to get it changed and they gav us a date in oct. to come for court n they wil c bout changin wher we live. so my dad has alot of money but hes just always mad n has a bad temper..we dont want to live with him so how do we convince the judge to let us live with our mom?? were old enough to choose!! its just we need some ways to convince the judge?? any ideas.... cuz we dont want to have to live with our dad....Custody change?tell the judge exactly how you feel. write a long letter stating why you want to live with your mom rather than live with your dad. tell the judge that your dad doesnt have enough time to spend with you and that you love your dad very much but you need a mothers touch.
tell the judge that you prefer to live with your mom because she is nicer and more attentive. she gives you the love and attention that you need and you have a closer bond with her.
tell the judge that money isnt everything and that you feel that the only reason your father won custody in the first place is because his money.
good luck
and i hope u get what you want.Custody change?I believe that at your ages, you can tell the judge you want to live with your mom. Usually, I believe he asks you into his chambers to talk to you alone, to make sure that you're not just saying this because of pressure from the other parent.
At your age, being girls, you can stress the fact that you want to be more with your mom because of women things, and stuff like that!
Wishing you all the best!Custody change?Hi...
If you and your sister would rather live with your mom, there's nothing wrong with it. Judges help kids and parents change custody all of the time.
When the judge asks why you want to live with your mom, you can tell the truth -- my father has a temper and is impatient, and seems very stressed out. And his stress comes out as anger, which makes home very uncomfortable.
You might add that you hope your father will start feeling better and think about getting help with these problems.
That's the truth.
Be as calm and diplomatic as you can while talking with the Judge. You don't have to appear angry with your father, but make sure the Judge knows you are living in an uncomfortable atmosphere.
And i DO hope your dad gets help with these anger issues.
take care.Custody change?Your mother needs to petition the Judge to let you two voice your opinion. Usually the Judge takes you into his chambers and ask you some questions and if he likes the answers, he will let you voice your opinion. But given your ages, he may just take your choice without questioning you. He will take everything into consideration and make his decision with your choices weighing heavily on his. Given your dads temper there should be no problem here getting what you wish. Good luck
