What is the name of your state?I live in Maryland with my second wife and my 16 year old daughter from my first marriage. My first wife and I had shared custody (every other week) of our daughter. Last year, my first wife moved to California (to find herself) and after many arguments and consultations with an attornery, I finally convinced her that it was in our daughter's best interest to stay with my second wife and me full time. We are in Maryland. Now, my daughter has decided that she wants to move to California to live with her mom because she misses her. She turned 16 a few weeks ago, and because of her age, I am inclined to let her decide. I understand that if it went to court, a judge would consider a child's opinion, and I assume that at 16, that child's opinion would have a lot of weight. Is this true? I would appreciate any feedback on this. Thanks.
