my friend said she has to decide when she is 14 and i agree
A child under eighteen cannot make the decision of which parent to live with in any state. That decision is up to the court although some states have guidelines regarding how much weight a child's preference should have according to the child's age.A child under eighteen cannot make the decision of which parent to live with in any state.

In the state of Wisconsin the child has to be 18 if both parents share placement.
That's your call. If you are not convinced that it is safe and your child contracts H1N1, you will need to live with your decision. WA cannot make your decision.
The courts would have to approve this.
A child cannot make that decision until they reach eighteen years of age.
There is no point at which the child can make that decision. The court may hear a request from a child but the court always makes the final decision.There is no point at which the child can make that decision.

In Michigan, there is no specific age at which a child can choose which parent to live with. However, the court may consider the child's preferences if they are deemed old enough and mature enough to make a reasonable decision. Ultimately, the court will make custody decisions based on the child's best interests.
Unless the child has been legally emancipated by the courts, no. A child must reach the age of majority in Georgia (18) before they may legally make the decision on where to live.
You're this child's parents now. Yes your child might not want to live with you.... but handle this as if the child was your birth child and make a decision that you would stick to if the child hadn't been adopted.
The child can certainly make their wishes known but it will be up to the authorities to make the final decision. Perhaps if the child's chosen guardian steps up and makes a request declaring that they are willing and able to foster the child, the child care services will help to make it happen.The child can certainly make their wishes known but it will be up to the authorities to make the final decision.

In most states is around 14 years old. There are some states where the child has no choice. It's a decision that court will make concerning a minor child.
