Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

Leaving my mom to live with my grandmother

I just wasnt to start off by saying I am not some little girl who is having a fight with my mom because I can't get my way. I am 12 years old and I am very mature for my age. I live with my mom and my dad isn't in the picture anymore. I don't get beat but she plays head games with me. She knows I am a vegetarian and tells me I am only allowed to eat certain things which all have meat in them. She always ignores me and my brother for her boyfriend. Makes me stay with her at her BF cousins, everyday all day, then I go home sleep, goto school and get off the bus at that house again. I have no life. My grandmother said she will take me in but doesn't want to lose the custody battle. She knows my mom will beat me up if she finds out I say anything against her to a judge. Literally beat me up too. She has done it to my sister a couple of times but she left the house. My brothers uncle is willing to pay for the lawyer but I don't want to pull anyone into this if I can't win. I don't want to have to live with my mom while it is happening cause she'll make my life more of a hell then it is. I need to know where to start and how to make sure my grandmother wins. Also, her mom, sister, and own kids would testify against her if needed. Thank

Re: Leaving my mom to live with my grandmother

That is a terrible and unfortunate situation. No one can guarantee that your grandmother will win. In fact she will have a tough time overcoming the law which gives your mother the primary right to be your custodian. If your brother will pay you should get a consultation with an experienced attorney in your county. The case will depend upon the facts; and upon the facts which can be proven. You'll have to get the opinion of an experienced attorney and accept it.
