Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

How can I get out of my dad's custody and into my mom's? They have joint legal custody and have had it since their divorce 2 years ago. Had I been old enough, I would have chosen to live with my mom because my father is a control freak and has hit me before and I hate him and am tired of living with him.
