  • Can my dad take me away from my mom?

    I am going to be 16 in March and my little sister is going to be 13 in July and we live with our mother. My mom is a good mom..she has NEVER done anything to hurt us and she has always taken care of us. My dad wants to get custody of me and my sister. Right now my mom has full legal and physical custody. We used to see my dad every other weekend but then we moved to a different state now we only see him every once in a while. Also my step mom hates me and has left bruises on my and we went to court over that. And my dad got in trouble for slapping my older sister (she is 18) in the face a couple months ago. My dad was also taken to court for beating up his brother a couple years ago..but the court didnt do anything about any of these things..for different reasons..some of the cases were dropped and the one where bruises were left on me the court just made my dad and his wife go to parenting classes..and now he wants to take custody of me and my little sister (he cant take custody of my older sister or he would) and I am freaking out b/c I would rather live on the street then live with my dad and his wife. Also my step mom is bipolar and sometimes she doesnt take her medicine right and she goes off on everyone. I just want to know if my dad will be able to take custody of me and my sister..oh and he is prolly going to make up a bunch of lies about my mom which is what I am afraid of. Is there anything I can do to prevent this if it is possible?
