In Tennessee, it's generally at 12 you can start to state your preference on where to live.How old do you have to be to move in with the other parent if they are divoriced?
The answer to your question is 18. Now if you want to know when you are of age to address the court, then that would be 12. Just because you are able to tell a judge that you want to live with your Dad, doesn't mean that you are going to get what you want. You have to give clear and convincing testimony that will warrant a modification to the parent-child relationship.





If you want to move in wit Dad because mom is too strict or something like that, you can forget it.
In most instances, judges don't have children under the age of 12 weigh in on where they prefer to live - leaving it up to the parents to determine the best living arrangement for their child. If you have an opinion; however, you should let your parents know. I'm sure it would be difficult, but you may want to start by telling your dad.
In most states you have to be at least 12yrs. old.





Don't move from one parent to the other because your angry or don't think you can get along with your mom. You should have a -reasonable/logical- explanation as to why you want to move.





You should go through the courts also. They will ask you why you want to move. Work on your answer.





Don't say something dumb like ';My mom and I are always fighting'; or ';We just can't get along';, the judge won't buy it and won't let you move.





Good luck.
