Depends on the state, but my assumption is that the courts start to listen to the CHILD when they turn 12 and allow them to decide when they are 13

the court is only going to look at who has the best interest for the childs care and safety, so if u r cutting the father down and things of that nature it's not going to work in your favor , u need to have a good job a good home and show a great interest in the child and concern for your child , that's what is going to count

Many Judges in many states will ask the child if they have a preference as to where they live at the age of 12 and up depending on the state...So that would depend on the state you live in and the judge.

I'm not too sure but I guess that if the son's complaining enough the court will just be fed up and sen him to live with you

yes they do, they r old enough to say who they want to live with,but i dont know ur situation, so the judge must choose whats best for the child. u can look into it futher, i would talk to some kind of lawyer and see what can be done. good luck.

He needs his own lawyer or advocate. Start making phone calls.
