If this is a sudden change in behavior, then I'd say something has occurred to cause it. It could be hormones, it could be an incident.
Either way, discussion should ensue, and let him see and know that humans need to discuss things! A physical exam by a male doctor who he might listen to (esp about hormones) would make sure it isn't something physical other than that ... and if he's experienced something negative he is acting out about, he might share as well.
I would in one of those adult sit downs make a rule list...in writing, a chart? And make agreement to what the rule is and what the consequence of breaking it is (you can add beneficial actions as well, and what rewards are there) .. that way when he pushes a rule, it's the agreement that is being invoked, and not the "ogre" parent. 
Good wishes.
