My child who is going to turn 17 in September lives in Missouri and I live in Indiana. My oldest child wants to live with me and so do I. Can I legally just take her to my state and have her live with me once she turns 17 or will this be a nasty court battle? I have 3 kids and they are all teenagers and they all live with their mother. I know she will not give me custody of any of them without being forced to. I have faithfully paid child support for several years now and have no arrest record or any legal troubles and do not do drugs. I don't see why I couldn't legally get her but we are trying to avoid huge court costs. I do, however, need a lawyer to get the divorce agreement amended with child support, visitation, etc. especially if I get custody of one of them. Please advise. Thank you.
