There is clearly a misunderstanding about children choosing who they want to live with. In Texas, children do not get to choose who they want to live with. Section 153.009 of the Texas Family Code does allow for children to have a voice on the subject. The law allows for a party to request for the judge to confer with a child. Once a request is made for a judge to confer with a child, the judge must talk with children 12 years of age and older and may talk with children under the age of 12. Therefore, the law allows for children to state their preference, it does not allow them to choose.
in the state of Texas its at the age of 12 that a child is able to watch younger children for up to 2 hours. Although parents should use their best judgements when it comes to the maturity and certain responsibilities of that 12 year old has when it comes to trusting that 12 year old with younger children.hile their isnt a legal age set on paper. If a 10-12 yr old and a 6 yr old are caught home alone, or a 12-13 yr old and a 6 yr old are caught home alone-they go to juvy hall and the parents pay restitution and a fine after they are counseled with child protective services-before they get their kids back.
