Hi,
My parents have court orders that they have equal custody of me. I've never enjoyed seeing my father and my mum is fine with that. Over the past 5 years, my father has stopped abiding by the orders, and sees me twice a year. I am fine with this, however when it comes to school and moving (interstate or overseas) we have to have his permission, which he never allows because he loves to be able to control me. I am almost 14 and from what me and my mum understand, you're allowed to stand in court when you're 14 years of age. Is that true? I'd really like to get rid of the orders all together, as he hasn't even called or texted in several months, when he used to call every few weeks. Is there more of a chance that the court would choose one parents side over the other? My mum is extremely caring, but my father tells people she's crazy and can't look after me which is not sure at all.
Thank you,
Mikayla
