Question about divorce laws with kids in the state of Michigan? ?

Alrighty. I don't know much

about divorce laws so bear with

me.

Mom & dad split up. Dad takes

kids cause mom said "take the

kids & get out". A couple

months later mom sues for

custody of all 3 kids. If a child is

of a certain age may they decide

which parent they'd like to live

with the majority of the time?

This is in the state of Michigan.

Thanks for any help.

    Children over the age of 12 or 13 maybe voice their opinion to the courts as to which one of their parents they want to live with. Keep in mind that the court will only take their wishes into consideration. Courts rule on what is in the best interest of the child and not necessarily what mom, dad, or even the child wants.

    Good luck
