I have three daughters, 13, 12 and 7. Mom and I have been seperated for 6 years and she refuses to sign any papers to end the marriage.
She is an alcholic and I have had her in rehab and child services have been involved to have her evaluated. She is moving out of state and my two older daughters do not want to live with her, they can't stand her drinking and her leaving them alone all the time so she can go out and drink. She drinks and drives with them in the car and the owners of restaurants and bars have had to drive her and the girls home because she was not able to walk, let alone drive a car.
All of her neighbors and some family members will stand up for me and vouch the girls should live with me, and they want to. My two older daughters want to know if they are old enough to make the decision to live with me, they are willing to tell the judge they do not want to move and they do not want to live with their Mom. They know living with me is a much safer environment.
Will the judge listen to them??
