Re: Custody (Family) Law
Get the non-custodial parent to file a petition to modify custody. The older child can pretty much dictate where he/she can live; the younger can express a preference which the court will take into account. In the final analysis, the court will determine what is in the best interests of the children in deciding who gets custody.
