With Mom's prior history and the fact that she moved on in her life with little effort made to contact her daughter, I would suggest Dad legally only set up visitation times which if they go well for DD and for MOM might be extended in number  on weekends, holidays and possibly in length during the summer, [b]but keep the usual rhythm of his daughter's life intact by having her continue to live with him during the week/school year to complete her high school educaiton.[/b]  His DD does not realize the amount of change she would be dealing with if she just went to a Mom she has probably fantasized as just ideal and also a new school and trying to fit in and make friends.  And this also does not include how she would mesh with her younger half-siblings and step Dad.  Whatever he does in terms of visitation, I would agree DD also ought to be seeing a therapist to have an outlet for the pressures she might feel even in just visiting.  DD could let her know that once she completes high school, she could make whatever decision she wants as to where she lives and with whom. Mom has not indicated the willingness,ability or stability to deal with this teenage daughter.[/quote]
