What is the name of your state?
New York
My son has lived with his father since I have moved out of the house with our daughter and got remarried. Now my son who is 14 would like to come live with us. Our houses are about 1 mile away from each other and my son would not need to change his school. According to the divorce papers, I am the custodial parent and we have joint custody of the children.
The problem is my ex does not want my son to live with me. My son has tried talking to his dad about being home more and not drinking so much. It apparently hasn't helped much. My son is going through a rough time right now and has been speaking about this with his guidance counselor.
My question is, in the state of New York can a child his age decided which parent they would like to live with?
Thank you.
