My grandmother adopted me; she took me from a father who deserved his kids. I want to live with him not her. What can I do?
Question Details:
When I was about eleven my parents starting having problems. There was never physical abuse. Never really verbal abuse either. They just weren't meant to live together. My grandmother never liked my father. She thought my mother could do better. She convinced everyone that he wasn't a good father. That he did drugs all the time. That he treated us wrong. But he didn't. I'm 15 now and want to move back in with him. What can I do? Please help me if you can. Thank you.
Criminal Defense Law Answers
Tell Dad you want to live with him, ask him to file a Suit Affecting Parent Child Relationship and get custody of you. At 15 years of age, you do not have a say in this it is a legal matter that the adults must fight out, but you can tell your father that you want to speak to the Judge (Before the most recent changes to the family code, you could have signed a choice of managing conservator statement but that has been done away with). When you get to see the Judge, tell him/her why you want to live with your father.
Unfortunately, you cannot start the process, your father has to do so. Talk to him, let him know what you want and how you feel.
