Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
My step son wanted to live with us at 14 yrs old. He is now almost 17. He wants to move back to his moms becouse he dont like our rules. We live in indiana. My question is, what do the courts think about a child wanting to move back and fourth like this. And, will they allow it.
Thank you for your time.

Courts look at many factors in determining child custody and the child's choice, although given a large amount of weight at age 17, is only one of the factors. The most important concern of the court is to determine what is in the best interest of the child.
