What age a child can ask to live with a parent?
This depends upon the age of the child and the child's maturity. Generally, in New York State when a child is fourteen (14) years old the Judge gives great deference to the child's wishes. Living with one parent also depends on the best interests of the child; perhaps one parent does not have an suitable housing for the child. That is a consideration, and even if the child is 14 years old and desires to live with that parent, the parent with inadequate housing might not get custody. Mildred J. Michalczyk

How old does a child in Nova Scotia have to be to decide which parent to live with?
Generally, a child does not have the "right" to choose their custodial parent. Until a child is 18, the courts have full discretion to assign custody. However, the child's wishes are often given a great deal of consideration, particularly once the child reaches their teenage years. Ususally, when seeking to include the wishes of the child in the custody decision, a Judge will either meet with the Child in private or accept a letter or oral statment from the child for consideration.
What rights are the child's in Florida to choose what parent they want to live with?
Until the child reaches the age of 18 (the age of majority in Florida), the court will decide which parent the child will live with if the parents cannot come to an agreement. However, the child is always free to make their wishes known to the judge, either in court when custody/visitation is being decided or request a modification to the original order by requesting a meeting with the judge, writing a letter to the judge expressing their wishes, or engaging an attorney or guardian ad litem to speak for them. The judge will take into consideration the wishes of the child, and generally, the older the child, the more weight is given to those wishes. Ultimately, however, the judge will rule depending on what he or she feels would be in the best interests of the child.
