Re: custody of teenage

Your son is old enough to express his opinion of who he wants to live with, but it's not binding on the Court. It's hard to keep teenagers somewhere they don't want to be. Perhaps you and Mom can come to some agreement over the summer. If you can't work this out with Mom, I suggest you go talk to a good family law attorney in your area.
