I'm afraid that your mother is mistaken. Until you hit 18, you live where ever your legal guardian (I'm assuming your dad?) allows you to live. If your guardian allows you to move, you can. If they don't, you can't. Even if they allow you to move, they can order you to return at any time, and they will have the law and the courts on their side. The other option is for mom to go to court and ask to become your primary custodial parent (she'd ask a court to order that you live with her instead of wherever you are now).

I agree with aardvarc. If your parents agree that you can live with your mom you can, otherwise she will need to go to court to have it court ordered. 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.
