Can a 10 year old choose which parent to live with?
There is no fixed age when a child can decide on where they should live in a parenting dispute. Instead their wishes are one of many factors a court will consider in reaching a decision.
What do I do if my child wants to live with the non custodial parent?
If there is no custody order in place, then the child can live with the non-custodial parent without having to involve the court. If there is a custody order in place, that order would need to be modified. In some states, custody may be modified at any time.
Can the non custodial parent put the child on Medicaid?
Can Noncustodial Parents Get Medi-Cal Coverage for their Children? Typically, any parent can get Medicaid for their children. If neither parent can afford private healthcare coverage, California’s Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, might be able to cover your children.
