In the US, a child never has the choice to pick one parent over the other. Usually, the judge will listen to the wishes of any child able and willing to express them, and there is no minimum age in Oregon. (Children under twelve in some states, and fourteen in most, rarely testify in divorce proceedings, but the judge will speak to them privately in chambers. The judges I work with routinely speak with children as young as six.) However, the decision is based on many factors.





Judges are very reluctant to change physical custody with any child who's doing well. It's not likely, short of something cataclysmic, such as the father being homeless or abusing her.At what age can a female child decide which divorced parent to live with in Oregon USA?
At age 12 judges will CONSIDER the wishes of a child.
