Only Indiana and Texas has laws setting out a specific age at which a child can make a choice the court is requiredto abide by, and even than there are some limitations. With those states, it is age 14. In all other states, the general rule of thumb is that a 12 year old can express and opinion, however the judge is under not legal obligation to consider, or even hear it. In either case, a motion to the court must be filed for a determination to be made. However, the child should be informed that there are alternatives to choosing to live with just one parent. The child should also be advised they can express a choice that they remain in one home and each parent can live with them for a designated period of time, than switch. This is called Bird Nest Custody.

If a mother has sole custody of her 16-year-old daughter but lives in Penn can the mother give the daughter permision to date a 20-year-old male if the daughter lives with her father in Illinois?
Why is Daughter living with Father if Mom has custody? I'm wondering why Dad hasn't already petitioned the court for custody. He certainly can do that, and since Daughter is already living with him anyway, he'll likely get it. Basically as long as Daughter lives in Dad's house, he can set any rules he wants to--including the rule of not dating adults. If Daughter refuses to follow Dad's rules, she may find herself being sent back to live with Mom in PA--which would be a long way from Boyfriend.

Can custody of a child be stated in a will?
If you live in the US... Children are not property and therefore cannot be 'willed'. You can state in your will who you would like to receive custody, but the court is not required to abide by it. For example, if Mom has custody of a child, she dies and her will states that she wants her sister to receive custody, but Dad wants custody...Dad gets custody, unless he can be proved unfit, because Dad has first legal right to custody (Mom's wishes don't change that).
