Re: visitaion
There is no fixed age in Florida where the child's preferences can be directly communicated to the Court. Court's generally shy away from having the child make such a decision or express an opinion on which parent should have primary residential responsiblity. If this is an issue in a Court proceeding, many jobs will appoint a Guardian Ad Litem. (Attorney for child)This person will often indicate the child's wishes in a report to the Court.
