My kids live in Savannah and I live in Michigan, I have 2 kids with my ex-wife .My 13 year old son wishes to live with me in Michigan. Can I file for a change of custody based on my sons preference to live with me.
Once there is an established custodial environment with the mother, the father must prove by clear and convincing evidence that a change of custody is in the best interests of the child.
There are many factors to be considered in a "best interests" determination, and a child's preference , if the Judge considers it, is only one factor.
Your son's preference alone will not result in a change of custody from the mother to you.
