What is the name of your state? FL
Upon going through my original CO that was back in 1998, I am trying to go through the whole CO like a fine tooth comb because I was ignorant at the time the divorce took place and didn't seek legal counsel.
I am currently in a Custody Modification and I noticed one more paragraph that I am going to bring up to my attorney on Monday but it has me very upset.
"Niether parent shall involve a child in decision making as to visitation unless the child is twelve (12) years old or older. All visitation plans and conversations will be conducted solely between the parents until the child is at least twelve (12) years of age. The final decisions are to be made by the parents and not the child and the custodial parent is expected to encourage and assist in visitation with the non-custodial parent."
1st Question: Does this mean that at age 12 both of our children can choose whom they want to reside with?
Our daughter will be 12yo in July. Our current CO we have shared parenting with rotating custody which has been verbally changed for the past 6yrs but nothing established on the changes through the court. It does not state a specific time schedule...only that equal time spent with both parents.
