Re: age a child can decide which parent they can live with
There is no such particular age recognized under Virginia law to determine this particular issue since irrespective of a child's chronological age, each may differ with respect to the multiple factors which a court must consider in making a best interests determination as to where a child should live and with whom.
Re: age a child can decide which parent they can live with
There is no set age and his wishes and best interests and the reasons for the move, etc, should be considered. Good luck.
