    I live the state of Maine, and was wondering how could divorce my mother. Because she sexually and physically abused my brother and i when we was young. And know that I'm 15 yrs. old i want to take a stand and get her out of my life for good. And well right know she trying to get custody of us. We both don't want to go because we are scared of her. And we would rather perfer to stay with our Father. Anyways I need answers and need them fast. If any body has any information they can give me please email me at frieak_208@yahoo.com.

    Does your father know about this? Was any report ever filed? Was CPS ever called or involved?

    There really isn't such a thing as "divorcing your parents" - you could be taken away from an abusive parent, but if it has never come up until now, when there is a custody battle, it will have much less credibility and impact than if it had been previously reported.

    2-A. MEDIATION. Upon the filing of a petition and prior to a hearing under this section, the court may refer the parties to mediation. Any agreement reached by the parties through mediation on any issues shall be stated in writing, signed by the parties and presented to the court for approval as a court order.


    3. HEARING. On the filing of a petition, the court shall schedule a hearing and shall notify the parent or parents, guardian or custodian of the date of the hearing, the legal consequences of an order of emancipation, the right to be represented by legal counsel and the right to present evidence at the hearing. Notice shall be given in the manner provided in the Maine Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 4, for service of process.

    6. APPEAL. Any person named in the petition who is aggrieved by the order of the court may appeal to the Superior Court.


    7. PUBLIC PROCEEDING; EXCEPTION.
