Because the law does not say the minor has the sole right to choose which parent they prefer to reside with. What the law directs is that the wishes of the child should be considered in making custodial decisions. The criteria for awarding custody in Mississippi has seven factors the preference of the child ranks as number 6. The judge will allow a minor who is at least 14-years old to make a statement as to which parent he or she prefers to live with and why. The judge will make a decision based upon all the contributing factors and what he or she believes is in the best interest of the child and not the preference of the child or the parents.
Can a Florida mother receive child support even if she owes child support on a previous case?
If the mother isn't receiving any kind of assistance from the government, she can waive the right to child support from the father, but it wouldn't be in the child's best interest. Child support is the child's right, not the mother's. If the mother were really well off financially, or if she didn't want the father anywhere around the child, she could waive the child's right to support. The father has a responsibility to help take care of the child he helped bring into this world.ClarificationGenerally, in the US, a mother cannot legally waive a child's right to support from their father. A child is legally entitled to be supported by both parents. However, the mother can choose to not involve the court if the parents were never married or if there will be no divorce action filed. However, if the mother doesn't want the money she should put in a college fund for the child.

How old does a child in Nova Scotia have to be to decide which parent to live with?
Generally, a child does not have the "right" to choose their custodial parent. Until a child is 18, the courts have full discretion to assign custody. However, the child's wishes are often given a great deal of consideration, particularly once the child reaches their teenage years. Ususally, when seeking to include the wishes of the child in the custody decision, a Judge will either meet with the Child in private or accept a letter or oral statment from the child for consideration.

If parents live in different states Alabama Mississippi can child choose which parent they want to live with at age 14?
The general age of consent is 18 years unless it is detrimental for a child to reside with one parent. Most states are "best interest" states. Ask yourself? What is in the best interest of the child, not what does the child want. Barring domestic violence and abuse, a child has the right to a relationship with BOTH parents. What is the main reason for the child to move. Why does the child have to decide. A equal visitation schedule would work best, or if this is a child support issue, perhaps, the child stays with the other parent for the entire summer and is given a child support credit during this time. At any rate, the child should never be put in a position to decide an adult issue. If you and the other parent don't get aong, then you have answered your own question. Try harder to get along for the child's sake, you will be happier for it and the child will grow to a happier adult for it.
If both parents are US citizens and the child is born in Italy does the child have the right to choose between United States and Italian citizenship when he or she reaches adulthood?
Your child will be an American citizen automatically because American parents = American child. However, the Italian law is different than ours. You are not Italian just because you are born in Italy. if you are born in Italy to foreign parents, and you reside there until you are 18, then you can apply for citizenship. At that point, the child can be a duel citizen (the US now recognizes duel citizenship).
