HOW MUCH WEIGHT OR EFFECT IS GIVEN TO THE CHILDS PREFERENCE?

The child’s preference is one of many factors. The weight given to the child’s preference will depend upon the child’s age, competency, maturity, and the reasons, communicated by the child, for the child’s preference. There is no “legal age” at which a child’s preferences in a custody action will automatically be recognized by the court.
