You would need an attorney. It is unlikely that a court would transfer custody from a parent to a non parent just upon a child's desire. Especially if the the father does not agree. Parents have a right to visit their children. They also have certain duties.
Someone needs to look at the facts and the law to figure out if a motion to modify is what is needed.
