The child lives with his mother. He is 12 3/4 old and wants to live with me (the father). Is there any way for his mom to give me custody without going to court?
If you both agree, you can just do it. However, that doesn't mean she won't try and get him back later. The best way to do this is to go to court and ask for a stipulated custody order.
