family and school
this may be a little long but i really need help .
ok so i lived in newnan for nine years with my dad but last year we started fighting alot . i have been back and forth living with him the past year so i have been in and out of newnan high like 5 times in a year. i am 16 and i live with my mom currently in gwinnett county. my mom has custody of me but my dad has joint legal custody of me so he has say on some things. well a couple months ago i tried staying with my aunt but my dad found out and since i wasnt living iwth him or my mom he freaked out so i came back to my moms house. i really want to be in newnan, thats where my life is. but me and my step mom dont get along at all so i really dont want to live with my dad. but if i live with my mom, i have to stay in gwinnett county and i hate it here. i love it at my aunts house. thats where i really want to be. is there any way i can choose to stay with her since im sixteen? i only have like 7 weeks of school left and want to go back to newnan high for the alst bit of my year. so i need to know a quick way to be able to stay with my aunt and go to newnan. my mom owuld let me, but my dad is just an ass and wont let me. but i never have contact with my dad, so i dont get why he wont let me. anyone got any ideas?

Being a minor, you can't make those decisions.
It's your parent's choice where you live, so your best bet is to convince them. Talk to your mother. Tell her how you feel (calmly and rationally) and ask her to speak to your father for you. Maybe she can persuade him better than you can considering she has half custody of you. After your mom talks to your dad, you talk to him. Tell him that you dont feel comfortable around your stepmom and think you would do better with your aunt where you can bond with your stepmom but you two wont be in the same house arguing. Tell him you just want to finish the school year and how very important it is to you.
Im not sure what the laws are pertaining to this situation, but if you currently live with your mom I dont see why you cant stay with your aunt if she gives you permission. It shouldn't be illegal and unless agreed to in divorce court when they decided custody terms that it wasnt.
Find out your options and be opened to comprimise.
If things dont work out, try to have fun at your high school. A positive outlook can change anything.
Good luck!

I'm not real sure as to how it would work out with living with your aunt, but in the state I live in, once you turn 14 you can legally decide for yourself as to which parent you want to live with.
Surely your parents have lawyers that handle your custody arrangements? If so, that is who you should talk to, or have your mom talk to them.
