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.
Florida law states: 1  Children 5 years old or younger must be secured in a federally approved child restraint system: Children 3 years old and younger must use a separate car-seat or the vehicle's built-in child seat. 2  Children 6 through 17 years old must be in a seatbelt.
