    No, you do not. You are mistaken. You do not get to choose. A judge may listen to your preference, however that does not mean that you will get to live with who you want to.

    Also, it has to be your dad that initiates the change of custody not you.

    I've been dealing with WV courts you have no say. You can talk to the judge if your parents request it but there has to be a really good reason for a change not just because you want it.

    Talk to your Dad. He would need to file for a modification of the custody order.
