undefinedWhat is the name of your state?NY At what is a child "allowed" to decide which parent they want to live with?
In every state but Georgia...age 18. Their wishes may be given some weight by the courts at about age 12-13...but they don't get to "decide".

PAS isn't very highly regarded anymore. It never was totally "mainstream", and it more or less went south when its "founder" committed suicide about a year or two ago. On top of that its founder was pretty controversial prior to that anyway.

That doesn't mean the alienation is irrelevant or insignifcant...because it absolutely is NOT....it just means that calling it "PAS" may do more harm than good.

You will probably get better advice if you tell us what is actually going on.
