About the Month of October. October is the 10th month of the year and has 31 days. Season (Northern Hemisphere): Autumn. Holidays. Yom Kippur. Columbus Day. Child Health Day.
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.
A 17-year-old would be asked such questions and perhaps more personal ones concerning specific family issues such as the parent-child relationship. However, regardless of the age a minor does not choose which parent they wish to live with, although at the age cited the judge may take it into consideration.
