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 states have a statute that states the age a child can choose to live with the other parent. For example, in Texas, children can make the choice at age 12.What does this mean? Assuming mom is the primary parent with custody, can your child simply state he or she wants to live with dad and thatâs the end of it?
