How old does a child have to be in South Carolina to decide which parent they want to live with?
It's usually the courts that decide which parent will have the child(ren) live with them. It's much more complicated that you are able to understand. Never fear, both parents love you very much, but sometimes, either the mother or father has a career, they could be poor and the father/mother can't afford to have someone look after you. Until you are of legal age you have to have a sitter. Try sitting down with both parents and tell them how you feel. Perhaps they can figure out something that you will be happy with. These are not reasons to leave: House rules Having to do chores Getting good grades in school Not staying out all night Not doing drugs or drinking too much Being cheeky to your parents If these are some of the reasons you want to leave, then grow up! Everyone has a job to do and you are no different. Why shouldn't you help out with chores? Be lucky you have parents at all because so many kids don't. If you think it's wonderful living out on your own or moving from one parent to the other you are in for a big surprise. Talk to your parents!

When can a child decide which parent to live with in the state of South Dakota?
In South Dakota, a child's preference may be considered by a judge in custody matters, but it is not the sole factor. The judge will consider the child's best interests, which include factors such as the child's relationship with each parent, each parent's ability to care for the child, and the child's safety and well-being. Ultimately, the court will make a decision based on what it deems to be in the child's best interests.

No. The child doesn't get to decide until the age of 18. Until then, if there is court-ordered visitation, it must be followed. The child does not have the option of refusing.

Does a child at age 13 have to visit a parent with visitation rights in North Carolina?
Yes. The non custodial parent has every right to see his or her child. And there is a huge misconception that a child can decide which parent they prefer to live with or decide they don't want to visit the other parent when they reach a certain age. The fact is, it is NOT the child's decision to make, but the judge's.So unless the non custodial parent has been found unfit, abusive, etc., the child has to concede to the visitation rights.Furthermore, the custodial parent should encourage the child to want to visit with the other parent. Children need both parents, and no parent should ever be deprived of spending time with their child unless they are unfit, abusive, etc.
