Reefs occupy less than 0.2% of the seabed. Yet they run along more than 150 000 km of coastline in more than 100 countries and territories. By their massive formation between the surface and the first few tens of meters deep, coral reefs are a very effective for absorbing elements coming from the ocean. They absorb waves energy and contribute to environmental protection through the reduction of coastal erosion.
Information Provided by: Candace M. Williams, Esq. Pursuant to O.C.G.A. Â§ 19-9-3, (5)-(6), in all custody cases in which the child has reached the age of 14 years, the child shall have the right to select the parent with whom he or she desires to live.
In Michigan, the judge has almost limitless latitude in deciding whether he will listen to a childs preference and in deciding how much weight that preference will be given. But it is safe to say that in Michigan, there is no specific age when a child can dictate with whom she wants to live. Every case is fact-driven and the particular circumstances of the familys situation will matter as much or more than the child's age and the childs preference.
