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.
But every day in Florida children are removed from their homes because their parents are not able to provide the love and care they need â sometimes because they didnât learn good parenting skills; sometimes because of substance abuse, mental illness, and domestic violence; sometimes because of all of the above.
