In California can a thirteen year old choose which parent to live with?
Yes. A child as young as 11 years old can choose which parent they wish to live with. It doesn't mean however that a judge will grant it, it merely means that the child can file formally with the court for a change in custody.

The court might ask what parent he wants to live with but they are in no way obligated to follow his wish and especially not if the parent were abusive.
How old does a child have to be in NC to decide which parent they want to live with?

Can a child at sixteen go to court to speak of which parent they want to live with?

Can a minor child move back in to the non custodial parent's home if they do not want to live with the court appointed custodial parent?
Not without the child and the second parent violating the custody order. The child can petition the court but there has to be a valid reason for wanting the move. * Minor children are not allowed to choose with whom they wish to reside. If the minor child wishes to live with a different parent then that parent must apply for joint or full custodial rights through the proper procedures, the minor cannot file a petition themselves. If the child is in an environment of abuse and/or neglect the state's department of child protective services should be notified or.. National Child Abuse Hotline, 1-800-422-4453 or 1-800-252-2873
Can a child have abandonment issues if a parent dies before the child is born?
Not the same way as if the child was older but missing having a mom/dad and not getting to know the parent can make the child feel such things. The other parent and grandparents can often tell the child how amazing the parent was and that can make you feel like you knew him/her in a way and miss him/her and wish you had met and known him/her.
What forms need to be filled out for a parent that has sole custody of a child but doesn't want the absent parent to have them in case of death?
I know that in Canada there are no forms. It is in the will that you say what your wishes are for your child, i.e. live with your sister. You have to hope that the sister will fight in court for this to go through after your death. The court's ethos is to keep the child with family so it is actually a stronger case than for the child to stay with a step-parent. If the wish is for the child to stay with the step-parent - it would be best to protect your interests and have a baby with the step-parent so that the child is with immediate family upon your death. If that is not possible it is important to do your best to not die! Good luck
Do you have to pay child support if the father is not there every night with 16yr old daughter?
Yes. The non-custodial parent pay child support to the custodial parent regardless whether he is with her every night or not. The money is for providing for the child so as long as he does that you have to. Keeping the money is not helping the child. If you wish to change custody or child support, you have to go back to court. A 16yo is after all old enough to stay home by herself and most 16yo looks forward to get their parents out of the house. It's a part of growing up.
In Indiana can a thirteen year old choose which parent to live with?
In Indiana and in other US states, child custody laws are complicated. Despite a minor's choice as to which parent they wish to live with, it can be a delicate situation. Normally a state child care agency will have its own recommendation. To make any change and be sure, a court will take into account many factors and reach a decision.

If you are the custodial parent are you required to give your child's social security number and other personal information to the non-custodial parent if you don't wish to collect child support?
If both of the parents have a joint legal custody arrangement, you have to give the noncustodial parent that information. If you have sole custody of the child, you do not have to share that information with the noncustodial parent.
