Not a lawyer so this isn't a legally binding answer but I would think at this point since he has kicked you out of his house he doesn't really have much say over you... On a more serious note in some states there are laws stating that a child can choose who they live with at say 12 or so (maybe different in different states.) I would get a hold of your local child welfare agency to find out what the legal issues are. They would at least be able to explain to you what your rights are or if not that, point you in the direction of someone who can. This father of yours sounds like bad news so please call soon.
Note: In Georgia you can choose which parent you want to live with when you are twelve-thirteen. At seventeen you can move out of your parents home and they can do nothing to stop you. Also, legally, your father can not kick you out of the house until you are eighteen.
More Inputthe custody order is changed by the court.
Law enforcement will not intervene in a situation where an older child leaves the custodial parent's residence to live with the non custodial parent unless the minor is considered to be endangered in some manner or there is a court order.
The custodial parent would need to an order from the court to return the minor to his or her residence. These kind of matters can become complicated if the non custodial parent is under court ordered child support, has supervised or restricted visitation rights, etc.

If the father has legal custody the child should live with him. What does the custody agreement say?
Some times but it all depends on the situation

The grandparents on the father's side of the family
He would have to petition the court. Unless the mother is unfit though he will get shared custody.
If a child is born out of wedlock in Georgia, the father must file a petition seeking legitimation through the courts to become the legal father. Putting a name on a birth certificate is not sufficient. In the legitimation proceeding, the court has the authority to make custody determinations. If the father has not filed for legitimation, he is a legal stranger to the child, and has no rights to custody.
Since you now have proof you are the father you can now petition for custody, visitation and pay child support. So very binding. Without it you have no paternal rights.
The mother. The father have to petition the court for custody or visitation right.
"Paternal" means "on your father's side". Your paternal great-grandfather would be one of your father's grandfathers.

That is most likely up to the court that controls custody, or to the custodial parent.
It depends on state law, but usually more than a name on a birth certificate is required for an illegitimate father to obtain custody or parental rights. He have to provide a DNA test to prove he is the father and then he can petition for custody.
