Can a child request which parent to live with in a divorce?
Answer:
The children can give their opinion as to whom they wish to live with, although it is frowned upon by many when a judge asks children to give such an opinion as it creates a feeling in the child that they are betraying the parent. It is ultimately the decision of the family court judge, who must weigh the evidence and decide the division and type of custody granted to each parent. Of course, many other factors add into the decision, such as abuse issues (if present), stable living situation, financial situation, etc. Basically, child's opinion matters, but is not the ultimate deciding factor as to custody.
