A Free Discovery Session

We are filing for divorce and our child wants to live with me full-time. Will the court take his preference into custody determination?

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.
