How can I help my dad get custody of me?

how do we even begin to do that? i

He needs to go to the court and apply for custody.

im seventeen, cant i pick where i want to live?

. Under ordinary circumstances, I would say “… for all practical intents and purposes - yes …”. However, if you are on probation, I am sorry to say that it is highly probable that the Courts will have a clear view about where they are allowing you to reside while you are on probation. Furthermore, it is almost certain that they expect and require you to be resident at your Mother’s address at the moment, and that you would have to follow Colleen’s advice if you hope to have that “normal residence” changed to another approved address. However, your profile does not seem to indicate your current country of residence and any such legal restrictions will depend on your specific nation jurisdiction. .

Like majikthise posted, it really depends on the laws and guidelines of where you live. Be it that your on probation, maybe the best person to ask would be your probation officer?

u could ask for joint custody from the jugde

Make it known that’s where you want to go. Be honest with your family and the court system, I did and got what I prefered.
