Hey guys,


     My son is turning 16 in two weeks and wishes to change his custody arrangement to live with my wife and me. I'd appreciate any info on how this works in Maryland. Thanks.

typically, you file for the change through the court the existing order is through.  If you talk with your ex, I would discuss this with her beforehand and see if she is agreeable.  Also, it would be good to make sure son is serious or if he is just mad at mom, etc....

Even if your ex is agreeable, file through the court and have it legally switched.  At your son's age, if he is fairly dependable and level-headed, his wishes will weigh heavily on the judge.
