I'm 15, and I live with my mom. I go to my dads every weekend. I have been doing that since I was around 5. My mom works a lot, so she's really never home. When I'm with my dad, I'm happy. He gives me the love and attention my mom never gives. He also seems more involved with my life. Also, at my moms house, I tend to be more depressed. I have self-harmed, my mom has been told many times. But never addressed the problem. My mom refuses to give up custody of me though. What can I do?
Your dad can file a motion for a change of custody due to changes in either your circumstances and/or the circumstances of your mother and allege that the custody change must be done for your best interests.
