    Only a court order can do that. Your mother can sign a paper - with DHHR - where another family member (or responsible person) would taken temporary custody of you. Your father can fight for custody. To make it legal, there would have to be a hearing before a judge - and your father and mother would have to agree to give custody to the other person.
