    Unhappy My Dad Has Sole Custody And I Live With Mom - How To Avoid Moving Back

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Ohio

    I lived in an abusive household where my step-mother physically and verbally abused me. In October of 2007, my step-mother and her husband (my father) kicked me out of the house and told me to go live with my mother. I have lived there since October 30, 2007 and have been happy. My father has sole custody of my sister and I after my parents divorced back in May of 2006 (i think).

    Just recently, on April 19, 2008, there was an incident involving me and my step-mother in front of CVS pharmacy. We filed a complaint against her the following day. Last Friday, my dad says that he wants me to come back home and I have to live with him, but I don't want to go back to an abusive household. Dad says I have to go back tomorrow after school.

    Is there anything I can do so I don't have to go back? I'm 16, so can't I legally choose whom I want to live with?

    Your mother can petition the court that issued the custody order to modify custody.

    But my mom is unemployed and lives with her boyfriend. She unemployed due to disability and her boyfriend is currently employed. We live in a one bedroom apartment until the lease is up. My mom's insurance was just recently canceled. She had Medi-caid and it was free, but now they're demanding that for her to have insurance she needs to pay over $200 per month, so she no longer has insurance. I do have my own insurance, though.

    Would they disapprove of her request because of these?

    Possibly. Unfortunately, I am not able to predict the future.

    thank you very much for your help. I hope that things go well because I really do not want to go back to their household.
