Legal Question in Family Law in California
Custody of a 16 yr old minor
I am 16 and currently living at home with my mother. I am mentally and physically abused daily. I would like to live with my father but i havent seen him in years. Will the court still let me choose although my mother has costody? I have also explored emancipation because i am a graduate with 2 jobs but can my father sign the papers even though my mother has costody. Im desperate to move out in any way possible. What should i do?

when you are physically abused call the police. you do not have the right to choose but the judge must consider your wishes. calling the police EACH time you are abused will set in motion events that will solve your problem
