Custody Response
In the State of Georgia, a child of the age of 14 can elect which parent she/he wants to live with. A Consent Order can still be made in a divorce or custody proceeding on a number of issues. A consent order is not the way, or the only way, an election by the child can be made. If this does not answer your question fully, please contact an attorney and provide more information. I hope this has helped some.
