If you are the 16 year old, You would need to call a local lawyer for advice out of the yellow pages, you might need to call several to get free info. and communicate a prepared intelligent and voluntary statement to the local court. Be prepared to stand behind your statement, thru trials and tribulations as both parents will be emotionally involved I expect. In Indiana, I've heard a seventeen year old can emancipate thereselves, meaning becoming independent of a parent or guardian. This is a take action, situation, The parent you want to live with must show the court what they want. And the child must back them up with a written affidavate, or court appearance.

What if the custodial parent hides the children from other parent?

If there is a legal order in place outlining custody and visitation rights for the non-custodial parent, the non-custodial parent may file an action against the custodial parent for contempt of court by failing to abide by that order. If the contempt continues, the judge may order a modification to custody giving it to the non-custodial parent, depending. If no legal order is in place, now would be a good time to file for one to protect the rights of everyone involved.
