Hello Folks, I have been reading up on Texas family laws and I am a bit confused. Can someone tell me at what age a child can choose to end visitation with one of their parents? Would love to hear your thoughts or any personal experiences.
When I was navigating family law issues, I learned that in Texas, a child’s preference regarding visitation can be considered by the court, but there’s no specific age at which a child can unilaterally decide to end visitation. Typically, the court takes into account the child’s wishes starting around age 12, but it’s just one factor among many. The final decision still depends on what the court believes is in the child’s best interest. It can be a complex process, so consulting with a family law attorney for personalized guidance based on your situation is usually the best approach.
It sounds like it’s a complex situation. I imagine it’s stressful for everyone involved
