I turned 17 years old in January and my father and I butt heads. He is really difficult to live with (for example, I went to the library 3 days in a row and told him I'd be back at 5pm, each time. He got suspicious and thought I was out doing drugs. I have never done drugs, never smoked, never drank, never had sex. And still, there is no trust.).
My mother is a lot easier to live with, a lot kinder. I want to move into my mom's house full-time. I want to leave dad's house in a peaceful fashion without a lot of yelling and hurt.
Another thing is that I find it hard to have motivation to get a job when my parents live so far from each other. I have to try and find a job directly between their houses, right on the bus line. Which makes it difficult. If I were to be at my mom's house full-time, it would make it a lot easier to get a job.
My question is this: I would like to know if any of you have the actual laws or links to the actual laws that say 1) I am legally allowed to switch parents at the age of 16 and 2) I am legally allowed to move out of my parents' houses at the age of 17.
I will definitely be living with mom, but if I gave dad both the laws, it might make it easier and prove my point more.
Note: I live in Colorado, USA.
Thank you all in advance for any help/advice/links that you share with me.
