your mother does not need to adopt you. she is your legal mother.

please listen to the advice you were given by OhioGal.

Emancipation does not mean that custody is taken away from the person currently holding it. Emancipation means that you, yourself, and no one else, are paying for your rent, food, clothes, utilities, transportation, medical care, school fees and supplies, insurance, etc. etc. etc. Emancipation means that you are SELF-supporting.

So no, what you suggest is not possible.

All your mom has to do is take your dad to court. You are old enough to decide who you want to live with, that is of course if your mom was declared unfit. It is really not a long process, unless your dad fights it.

Where does the poster say anything about the mother being declared unfit?

And while she is old enough so that the judge MAY pay attention to her wishes, she is NOT old enough to legally decide where she lives. That will not happen until she is 18.

She is old enough to express her wishes - but she can't actually choose until she's 18.

Where are you getting this?

(it's also highly unlikely custody will be changed at this point)
