I'm tired of Joint custody please help (Sorry for bad grammar)

Ok, but fudging your age on here makes it hard to believe anything else you say. Just FYI.

So here is the thing, you say your dad filed for a custody change...if that is the case you need to ask him or have him ask his lawyer what the status of the case is.

According to Alabama Law

§ 19-9-3

(5) In all custody cases in which the child has reached the age of 14 years, the child shall have the right to select the parent with whom he or she desires to live. The child's selection for purposes of custody shall be presumptive unless the parent so selected is determined not to be in the best interests of the child. The parental selection by a child who has reached the age of 14 may, in and of itself, constitute a material change of condition or circumstance in any action seeking a modification or change in the custody of that child; provided, however, that such selection may only be made once within a period of two years from the date of the previous selection and the best interests of the child standard shall apply.
