Question

If a grandparent has custody of a 13 year old does he have the right to chose who to live with grandparent or mother?

Answer

A 13 year-old does not have the right to choose who they live with - but they can advise the court of their preference, which is a factor the judge will consider in making conservatorship decisions.
