Can a 12 year old decide which parent to live with in Florida?

A child cannot choose which parent they want to live until they are 18-years-old. As they get older, however, their opinion can have a greater weight with the court.

What is an enmeshed parent?

Enmeshed parenting describes a style of parenting that can cause problems in your child’s successful development of their own personality, ethics, and values. Your entire focus is on taking care of your children, rather than also taking care of yourself. Your happiness or pain is determined solely by your children.

What do you do when your mom won’t let the father see your child?

If you don’t have a court order and you are not being allowed to visit your child, you will have to ask the court to enter a visitation order. You can do this through the divorce court (if you are divorced from the child’s other parent) or the paternity court (if you were never married to the child’s other parent).
