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.
Sometimes, courts refer to as it as the âage of consentâ. In Wisconsin, age 14 is an age of a child in which the childâs wishes is given more weight than when they are younger. However, that is only one of many factors that the court looks to in determining with which parent a child should live (placement).
