My son is 13 years old and lives with his mother. He would like to come live with me but is afraid of his mom getting mad at him. We live in Iowa and I am not sure of the custody laws in this situation. Is he old enough to make that decision?

Yes, he's over 12 so the judge will take his opinion seriously. You have to be the one to petition, and then ask the court to accept his testimony. Still, the end decision will be determined by whether or not you can provide the same if not better living environment, whether or not this move will uproot him from his friends, school, etc. and if this switch is indeed in his best interest. Good luck! -
