Hi everyone,
My daughter recently expressed that she no longer wants to live at her mom’s house and would prefer to stay with me instead. What steps should I take to address this situation? Are there legal considerations or processes I need to follow to make this change? Any advice or personal experiences with similar situations would be greatly appreciated.
You should talk to your ex about your daughter’s wish to move. It’s a good idea to consult a lawyer to understand the legal steps and possibly go through the court to change custody arrangements.
Prioritize open communication with both parents. Clearly express your daughter’s desire to live with you. Be prepared to discuss the situation calmly and respectfully with your ex-partner. Consider seeking legal advice if necessary to understand your rights and responsibilities.
Ultimately, the child’s well-being should be the top priority.
Talk to your daughter. She might be getting abused, maybe not physically but emotionally. You can then talk to her mom after you have known why exactly she no longer wants to stay at her mother’s. Then you can involve the courts if need be. Ensure the whole issue is handled amicably as a child needs both her parents.
