The Court orders the custody arrangement of minor children. If the child reaches at least 14, and a motion is made to bring the case to court, and the judge allows the child to choose, the child does not have to choose in front of the parents. The attorney(s) can ask the court that the parents be asked to step outside while the court and/or attorneys question the child.
When they are 18.
When the child is 18.
A 12yo child is not allowed to choose where to live so if the parents have decided on this they have to go to court to change the custody order.
The child does not actually get to choose where they live. At 15, the judge will take the child's wishes (along with other things) into consideration, but in the end, it is the judge that makes the final decision, not the child. this is not true in qld Australia u can choose where u want to live wants u turn 18
By law, a child does not choose. When you are 18, you are no longer a child, and can choose where you live.
Only after age 14 see link below
I think yes
Until your reach the age of majority, you are the responsibility of your parents.
If the parents are divorced then it is between the parents if the child can go live with the other parent. At age 14 the child can choose witch parent he/she wont's to live with. If that other parent is not willing to let the child go live with that parent then it can be taken to court or just wait till the child is 18 and can go live on it's own.
no because that wouldn't be fair if the child got choose too live in America but his or her parents didnt get to choose
When they are no longer minors.
The child just cant choose and move out , it is decided at the divorce decree and if it says e can stay with his step parents it is okay
