children chosing which parent to reside with

What is the legal age that a child can chose to make a decision as to which household they will reside in and/or that make changes to the parenting plan??

i.e. my daughter is 11, I am the custodial parent so she primarily lives with me except for the every other thursday thru monday and 5 weeks in the summer. She dreads these summers and her father is difficult to work with. When can my daughter make the choice when not to go for the 5 weeks any longer or make other scheduling decisions for herself that are different than the parenting plan?

Harassment from daughters stepmother

I received this email from my daughters stepmother. How should I react?

I am not really sure what is going on with you but, you seem to be a little too preoccupied with what your outside looks like to be bothered with what your insides look like. The gym should never interfere with your children and what they are getting form their mother. Just in case your mother didn�t tell you; when your insides are ugly, it shows through to your outsides.Your selfishness and disregard for others is now showing through in Mikaylah�s behavior and the way she is treating others, it is really sad that this is what you are teaching this wonderful little girl.

Father wants to give up parental rights so he doesn't have to pay ch support

My ex has decided he wants to give up all parental rights. But still wants to see her. He actually has sole custody but we have shared her 50/50. I pay him ch support. She wants to live with me and we were working to change the papers when her father announced he is done and doesn't want parental rights but wants to see her. He is doing this I am sure to get out of paying child support. There is no way I would try to keep her from him. However, he needs to be responsible financially. Would a judge actually allow him to terminate his rights? Child is almost 14. Divorced a year

getting my stepchild out

my step child is an extremely difficult child, and we want her to go to her fathers mothers house but the father is currently in jail, and the grandmother has stated that she doesnt want her there. The child is currently a runaway. We are at our wits end, and have exhausted all possible solutions that are feasable as far as our finacial limitations are concerned. Are there any state or government funded residential places that she could go to, or can we just drop her and her stuff off at her grandmothers and leave? Please help.
