It is the responsibility of the parents to agree upon custody. PA courts largely prefer a mutually agreed upon custody arrangement. If your spouse disagrees w/ child’s wishes, then you may ask the court to determine custody. A judge will consider his age, maturity and reasons in weighing his desire.
