Q: My grandson lives in Colorado and is 15 years old. He would like to go live with father in Ga. Mother says no way.
Is there legal paperwork that my grandson needs to do or process he needs to follow to go live with father?
A: The father, not the grandchild, would need to seek a modification of the custody/visitation orders between him and the mother. The grandchild does not get to make these decisions or file something with the court. Your son should consult with a child custody attorney to assess his specific situation and discuss his options.
