Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

I'd like to move in with my mother but my dad won't let it happen. My mom is more than willing to let me move in with her since I have two years before I graduate from high school. The problem is that my dad absolutely, positively will not let it happen. School's about to start and I'd like to get registered where my mom is at as soon as possible. My dad won't let me move into my mother's house due to the fact he receives money from the Missouri government because of my sisters and I. I'm not happy whatsoever at my dads but my sisters want to stay with him. For me, it just seems a lot more homely at my moms since I move around almost each year or two. I'm determined to move in with her ASAP. Help?

If you are sixteen, you and your mother can file a Motion to Modify Custody. If you're not yet sixteen, your mother can still file the Motion, and you can tell the judge/commissioner that you want to give testimony.

Good luck
