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.
When can my child decide which parent to live with? In Texas, a childâs decision cannot be the sole factor in determining which parent the child lives with. However, once the child reaches the age of 12, and upon motion, the court can consider the childâs wishes as to whom he/she wishes to live with.
