Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

Re: Child's Right to decide

There is no magical age at which a child can decide which parent to live with. The reason the court doesn't allow the child to choose is because the child might want to live with the parent that is the most lax when it comes to rules, homework, etc. or the parent that promises them the most. That being said the court is willing to have the Famiy Mediation Center interview the child or children to find out their thoughts. Therefore, the child(ren)'s preference is just one factor the court considers while taking a look at the overall circumstances of both parents.
