Its hard to say whether they can or they can't at this point without knowing your personal situatiion. However, it certainly sounds like they need to get out of the situation they are in. Becuase of their respective ages, the court will take their wishes into consideration. You will need to obatin counsel to assist you with this as there will likely be numerous issues that you will need to work through under the custody laws of Tennessee.
