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.
My Legal Briefcase. Is it true that a child can decide which parent he/she wants to live with at age 14? Posted: Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$post_date in /var/www/webapp/ui/mlb_faq.php on line 96. There is no set age for a child to have attained before a court will honour or respect his/her wishes. Parents often believe that there is a magic age where a child can just decide on his/her own to move from one parent to another. Where a custody and access order exists, an access parent who does not return the child to the custodial parent is in breach of that order.
