There are Different Types of Custody

My daughter is 16 and I share joint custody with her father. She lives with him, but wants to live with me. Can she do so without her father granting permission?

You need to examine the wording of your divorce decree. You may need to consult a lawyer, as sometimes the terminology used to describe different types of custody is not self-explanatory. At a minimum, I would not take it upon myself to move the child unless you had physical custody or the father agreed.
