What do you do when the kid or kids don't want to go back to the custodial parent? What do you do when the custodial parent treats and allows the child to be treated like garbage and the kid finally says ENOUGH (not yelling), and they don't want to go back!

The child in question is nearly 13-years-old, and HATES (not yelling) the living situation in the custodial parent's house. So what do you do?

I believe after the age of 12 a childs opinion of where they want to live is taken into consideration. Be careful that this is not just some attention ploy from the Skid. Sometimes they will say what they think you want to hear just to make you feel better.

Depending on what state you live in, the 13-year-old may be old enough to decide where they want to live. You should contact your attorney to find out about that.
