There is no "magic age" in SC at which a child can choose which parents gets custody. I have written an article this topic that explains how this process works in SC: http://bit.ly/f0WUsD

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.

If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.SpartanburgLawyers.com). I wish you the best of luck.
