No, you can't.

(If either parent files a custody case, you can ask to be with one parent if that happens).

Under the code, if your father wants custody of you, the judge will consider your wishes. This is so for those children who are 14 and over.

You should talk this over with father and let him hire a lawyer and handle the petition.
