We don't have a clear cut age here in PA. I have handled cases with kids as young as six years old testifying. The court will look at how mature the kid is. The more mature, the more weight his/her testimony will be given.

If you would like a change in custody and don't already have a lawyer, feel free to contact me. I offer free phone consultations and offer flexible billing arrangements.
