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.
Can a child who is 12 years old or older decide which parent will have primary custody? The Texas Family Code no longer allows a child age 12 or older to sign a form stating which parent the child primarily wants to live with.
