Speak Up! - View Question #127 |
 printer friendly version
Question: At what age can you choose which parents you want to live with either?
Answer: Your adopted parents are your legal parents and have the right to make decisions on your behalf until you are 18, including where you live. This must be a difficult situation for you and the adults involved if you are now having contact with your biological parents. Depending on the circumstances of your biological parents and your age, sometimes visitation arrangements can be worked out if all parties are willing. You may want to speak to your school counselor, you may need an adult to help you work through this.

My Dad goes to every game and practice we have. He is sooo into everyone else activity scheadual, he doesnt have time for himself. They are getting divorced soon and I am scared that I cant live with him. I want to kno ahead of time to see what the legal age is for a kid to decide who they want to live with
