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.
â¢ In Florida, emancipation automatically occurs when a minor reaches 18 years of age or when they marry. However, a minor cannot get married without parental consent. â¢ A minor under 16 years of age cannot get married with parental consent unless the minor female is pregnant and a Judge approves the marriage.
