In Connecticut, the court does not specify a hard age at which a child can determine if he or she wants to see the non-custodial parent. However, in my experience, I have seen the Court take such facts into consideration with children as young as 7 years old. Also, around the age of 13, courts tend to give a much stronger deference to which parent a child wants to reside and/or visit with. That being said, it is important to have an attorney for the minor child appointed (not a guardian ad litem) so that the child’s wishes could be presented to the court, as appropriate. It is also important to strongly consider the child in the matter, and how much he or she wants to be involved. It is important for the parent to truly understand the child’s motive and address them as necessary.
