In some states the child's age does come into play . Usually a judge will consider an older child's wishes over a younger child's . The judge will call she or he in his or her chambers and ask why it is that the child does not want to have contact with that parent . If the judge thinks it is a good enough reason . And sees that the child wasn't rehearsed on what to say . Then the judge might agree not to "force" visitation . In my case I have 2 girls 12 & 15 . My ex went after custody of my 12 year old and left my 15 year wondering why it was that she wasn't good enough to fight for . The judge in our case may see that my ex has done some irreversible damage to our daughter . And might find that it is best for both girls to live with me . But every case and state is different . I'd get a free consultaion . That's how I found my excellent attorney .
