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.
Many people believe that when children turn 12, they can choose which parent they'll live with, but this isn't true. When your parents are trying to figure out where you'll live after a separtion or divorce, or if a judge is deciding, they have to make the decision based on what's best for you.
