M & L - Custody/Visitation

Custody/Visitation

Common Misconceptions

Many parents believe that once a child reaches 12 years of age, then the child can decide as to his/her custodian. Although a childÍs preference can be considered in determining the best interest of the child, a 12-year-old child does not automatically, as a matter of law, decide which parent to live with. The court can utilize many other factors in determining custody. In fact, a judge is not required to interview the child and may decline to interview the child to ascertain his/her wishes. The legal age of the child is therefore not the determining factor.
