Not arbitrarily. The age of majority for the state of North Carolina is 18. That being so, a minor is not allowed to choose which parent he or she wants to live with. In most custodial cases a child who is deemed able to understand the matter at hand will be interviewed by the judge who has jurisdiction in the custodial case. It is at the descretion of the judge whether or not to speak with the minor child/children. The judge also will decide whether or not the knowledge garnered by the interview will be used in deciding which parent should retain physical custody of the minor child.
As long as they are minors they are not allowed to decide. Around the age of 12 the judge would listen to their opinion but they can not decide.
12, I do believe.
As long as you are a minor you are not allowed to decide who you will live with.
Does your father know of this living arrangement? He could petition the judge to re-consider the custody order because of the changed living circumstances.
Most states the age is 12 yrs. of age a child can decide who they want to live with.
Texas is the only state that allows the child to make a choice, when over the age of 12, but there are srtill some limitations.
I'm not quite sure but by U.S. law by 12 years of age you can pretty much decide which parent you want to live with.
No, a child can not decide this until they are 18.
