Q: Can my dad legally kick me out of his house?

My parents are divorced and my father forced me to pack all my things and make me leave and go to my moms house. I have siblings still at his house and I want to go back but my father won’t let me. Is this legal?

A: As long as you have a safe place to go, yep, 100% legal. What in the world would make you think you get to dictate the rules in your dad's house?
