This is an issue that's frequently brought up, along with the right to choose what parent they wish to live with.

This issue particularly arises as children enter their teen years. They don't want to be required to spend time with a parent, either parent. They think of themselves as almost adults, and thus can make their own decisions.

Let me start with the view on one teen on Joint Physical Custody.

Equal Time - A Teen's Views On Joint Custody

How I divide my life between my divorced parents' homes.

By Charlotte Juerge - Newsweek - Dec 15, 2008

See Link Below

"My parents divorced when I was 2 years old. Because I was so young, I cannot remember anything of how the divorce actually felt at the time. But 12 years later, I am quite content with my life and my parents. Unlike many divorced couples with children, neither parent has primary custody of me, but rather, I switch between my parents' houses every other day, spending roughly equal time with my mother and my father. "

For younger children, the argument can be postulated that Parental Alienation may be involved. This is a controversial issue with arguments presented on both sides, but cases involving child abductions where the abductor simply wanted a child, has shown how easy it is to alienate a child, from both parents. But, even teens can be alienated from a parent, or both parents.

A Child's Choice: What Is The Right Age For A Child To Choose Which Parent To Live With? See link below

The main issue here is not their right in choosing to spend time with the other parent, but their right to ignore and dishonor the authority of the family court. One has to wonder how many males that ignore child support orders were raised to believe it okay to ignore any family court orders, which includes the visitation orders?

If a child, whether by choice or through the influence of a primary parent, doesn't wish to spend time with the other parent, this issue has to be first brought before the court for consideration. The child can explain to the judge, outside the presence of either parent, why they feel it's in their own best interest as to why they no longer have a need for the parental influence of the separated parent?

There are reasons for the need of two parents, but if the child(ren) are getting tired of switching homes, perhaps it's time for the parent to be doing the switching.

This is what I suggest to the kids faced with choosing which parent to live with.

As an alternative, why not ask for Joint Physical Custody Of Your Parents?

Tell them that you want to remain in a home, and each of them there for three weeks, than switch. Once night a week, the parent not in residence takes you out to dinner or some other activity. While in the home, the resident parent does not date, or have overnight guests, other than relatives.

On the off weeks, the parent rents a room, stays with relatives, their friends, or they can split the cost of a two bedroom apartment, with each having their own bedroom.

The priority here is you not having your life disrupted by their choice not to be together. Their lives are equally disrupted and they split the cost of your home.

The support amounts each parent are obligated to provide for your care can go into a TRUST FUND. From the trust fund, expenses for the home and your standard expenses, are paid.

All this follows in accordance with Federal Laws dating back 100 years as regards Trust Funds that have been established for guardians to draw from when parents have been killed in an accident. Also in cases involving child stars (The Coogan Act-1939) where the law is designed to prevent their parents from spending the money for their own uses.

Any money left in the account would collect interest and be available for emergencies, or special expenses, such as part of the cost of a car, or a college education.
