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.
1 choose which parent to live with-at age 16 a young person can usually decide which parent to live with if their parents are separated, and decide whether/when to visit the other parent. 2  choose to leave home-at age 16 a young person can leave home without their parents' consent. Generally the law allows parents to leave a young person without supervision from age 14 - however, leaving a child unsupervised for an unreasonable period of time in a way that puts them at risk of harm could be considered neglect.
