About the Month of October. October is the 10th month of the year and has 31 days. Season (Northern Hemisphere): Autumn. Holidays. Yom Kippur. Columbus Day. Child Health Day.
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.
The only state that allows a child to choose is Georgia at 14 and this is only assuming that both parents are fit. Most states do allow at around 12-14 to speak to the judge and express wishes but as stated above their wishes are only considered and decision is not solely based on that.
