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.
Florida statutory law defines children as minors until they reach their eighteenth birthday. In some situations, however, it is recognized that minors may become legally emancipated, i.e. treated as legal adults, either for certain purposes or for all purposes.
