It's best if your parents communicate and you express your feelings and tell them who you want to live with. Kids do have a say! If there is no drugs, alcohol or abuse related with either parent, and they do spend as much time with you as possible then they love you. Life with adults can be very complicated and look on them as people first, then your parents. This is what you could do (if possible): Meet with your parents and tell them to their faces where you want to live. See what they say. Sometimes a father can be on the road with business and not around enough to look after you, or it could be your mother that works and has the same problem. If they agree with what you say then be sure to include the parent that you aren't living with and be sure they can see you on certain holidays or your summer holidays. You may not understand some of the rules they may hand down to you right now because you are young, but one thing .... both parents love you. If neither agree then it can go to court and a judge will take into consideration how you feel and he'll decide where you live. Good luck Marcy
Talk to a lawyer to avoid making an error that could jeopardize your custody.
Yes, a twelve year old can move in with the other parent.
This is a legal question best answered by a lawyer because the laws and rules will vary from state to state and depending on what, if any, agreements exist between the child's other parent or guardian and the courts and/or the father. If a court has decided not to award the father any visitation rights or if the father has no parental rights by court order, then the other parent or guardian can move with any children by that father as the other parent sees fit. A lawyer should still be consulted to make sure that everything is legal and proper. If there is no formal agreement, or if the father has no visitation rights through omission (i.e. it simply has been arranged or agreed to), then the laws and rules of the other parent's state will apply, and a lawyer should be consulted.
Speak to a lawyer.
Unless you have a divorce agreement which specifically states that you cannot move to a different location without the consent of the other parent, then yes, you are free to move.
There is no single answer to your question. It depends on your divorce decree, whether the other parent will have visitation rights, the court practices in your area, how much time and expense you will cause for the non-custodial parent, whether they consent, the reason for the move, etc., etc., etc. You may need to discuss it with your ex, your lawyer and then file a motion for modification with the court.There is no single answer to your question.

Move with someone? Who is the someone? I am assuming its another person you are in a relationship with. I would say no you do not need custody in place if you and the child other parent are in good terms and no one parent rights are being violated. Custody battles are a headache. Try to work it out with the other parent to save money and time. Thank you.
Not without permission of the court if the other parent's rights weren't terminated.
Only with the permission of the court
12 to move in with your other parent ADDED: U:nfortunately, at your age, you cannot make such a choice. The court has made the decision as to who they believe is the best parent to supervise your upbringing, support and education.
It depends on the state you live in and what the laws are that govern that state. In most cases, the child can not just live with one parent, because the custody belongs to the other parent. That child can wait until the age of 18, to move-in with the other parent or that child can ask the court to move with the other parent.
Well, if court says your child does not have to ever see the other parent then yes. But if not then no.
