Re: Can a 14 yr old decide what parent he wants to live with?
There is no specific age when a Court will absolutely honor the wishes of the child. Your son is within the range, however, where the Court will consider his wishes. In the final analysis, the Court will make a decision that it believes is in his best interest. In any case, I would suggest that you immediately consult with an attorney to protect your interests.
