MYTH: At age 12 and older, children can determine which parent they wish to live with, during a contested Florida custody case. TRUTH: Only at age 18 can an individual choose where or with whom he or she lives. While the Florida courts do consider the childâs wishes, they are absolutely not determinative.
There is no magic age that the Court uses to determine when a child is old enough to pick the parent he/she wants to live with in a custody case. After age 12, the Court is more likely to take into consideration the choice of your child concerning which parent he/she would prefer to live with.
