You might get INPUT - meaning being able to express a preference and your reasons to the jduge in the divorce case...but until 18, it won't be your decision, it'll be up to either your parents to agree or for a court to make an order.

Alimony depends on too many factors to begin to guess at whether it would be awarded. If dad is ABLE to work and has a HISTORY of working, odds of alimony begin to go down. If you go with mom, any alimony amount would likely be offset against child support that your dad would be expected to pay (again, dependent on whether dad is ABLE to work).

While pointers can be helpful, ultimately the number one lesson in any legal action is: don't take legal advice from books, family, friends, co-workers, police officers, grocery clerks, web sites, or people on legal message boards. The only person who can give YOU legal advice is YOUR attorney.

I agree with aardvarc. Have you browsed through the information in LawInfo's Free Legal Resource Center to learn more about your issue yet? See: http://www.lawinfo.com/consumer.html and http://resources.lawinfo.com/en/index.html. You can certainly try to speak to a lawyer to determine what legal options may be available. In the meantime, you may be able to learn more on your own. Search the "Free Legal Resources" tab, or browse the Consumer Resources. Good luck.
