Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

Re: child rights/age

The Courts are usually always interested in who the child wishes to live with, but the older the child, the more weight given to the child's wishes. Often, once the child hits the teenage years, the Courts give much deference to the child's wishes. However, other circumstances may cause the court to go against even a teenage child's wishes. For a more detailed answer it is best to consult with an attorney about the specific circumstances of your situation.
