I am 14 years old and I live in Nebraska but I want to live with my dad in Washington where I am much happier. I don't know how I can live with my dad without being arrested for kidnapping if I run away. How would I do that?

If you run away it isn't kidnapping, it's running away. If there is something abusive going on in your mother's home, then you can report that to the juvenile authorities. But if it's just a matter of wanting to live with your Dad, you should discuss this with both your parents and if possible a therapist or counselor to help your parents figure out what is best for you.

Your dad needs to file an Application to Modify in the Nebraska court system.
