At what age can a minor choose which parent they want to live with in the state of Texas?
No, minors are not allowed to make the decision as to where they want to live, whether it pertains to parental custody or guardianship issues. If the parents cannot find an equitable solution as to which is to be the primary custodian/conservator, the issue will be decided by the judge. Judges base their decision on what is in the best interest of the child/children and not on personal preferences of those persons involved. The above answer is incorrect... The legal answer is found in Section 153.008 of the Texas Family Code which provides that at the age of 10 a child may, by writing filed with the court, indicate a parental preference or choice of managing conservator in Suits Affecting Parent-Child Relationships.
