Reader is right: get your game on now.

I have a home, a garden and some financial security because I got a lawyer and let her get me what I wanted while I worked on rebuilding me.

What helped me early on was a pamphlet of advice for widows that I picked up a church. I needed to accept that life with him was over. No flowers, no cards, no casseroles and no life insurance but still I needed to move on.

Courts may take children's preferences into account but that doesn't mean they follow them 100%. The "whys" matter too. Judges know that 13-year-old girls can easily get themselves into boy trouble and the results can limit their education and future ability to support themselves. If a judge picks up that the preferred home is a rule-free zone that wish is unlikely to be granted.

Keep being the adult and try not to let your grief distance yourself from your daughter. She needs you.
