I was under the impression that it was 14. Where did you get your information.

Shoot. I wish I'd known that I could have chosen where to live at the age of 14. I would have chosen to live at my best friend's house. Her mom always let her eat spaghettios...

Was that a "Thank you, Isabella and Geekess" that I missed here?



Someday, you two nice ladies will learn to "allow" such posters to find and use the search function.

Oftentimes, people confuse things. Children younger than 18 may be allowed to give input as to where they would like to live, but the judge actually makes the choice.

I love to bust the bubbles of teens who think they know it all.

And parents who woo their kids to live with them, hoping to nix their child support. Deceiving the kiddos into thinking it will be SOOOO much more fun at dad's since he won't make them follow the rules, or at mom's where she'll buy him all of Toyz R Us.
