    Default Changing Custody Due To Child Turning 18

    My ex-husband and I have joint physical and legal custody of our 2 minor children. Our daughter will turn 18 next week and wants to leave his home and custody immediately following her birthday. She wants to reside in my home until she leaves for college in August.
    Can she legally make this decision if I am in favor of it and her dad is against it, or do we need to go back to court?

    You didn't identify your state, but typically she would be able to pick where she lives when she turns 18.
