At what age can you choose where you want to live

Asked by badbunnies007 5 months ago, 5 answers.

Ok so my mother and I don't really get along and a friend of mine told me that I can choose if I want to live with her or my dad with out having to have her consent. I just want to know if that's true.

This depends, once you become a teenager they will take your request into consideration, however, at the end of the day it will come down to who they believe is the fitter parent. By about 15 or 16, they dont argue too much with you on where you want to live (again, assuming your parents are equally fit parents)

The answer varies totally by state. In some states, for example, the court must honor the preferences of any child 14 years old or older or spell out its reasons for disregarding that preference. In other states, the preference of a child is only one of many factors the court is instructed to consider in deciding issues of child custody. You can probably get a good idea of your state's approach by entering (your state) custody child preference in any search engine.
