Re: where child wants to live

There is no hard fast rule in Arizona. The court will consider the wishes of a child as part of an overall assessment of the best interests of the child. The older the child, the more weight arguably the court will give. The child will not testify however. The child's statements would come in through a custody evaluator or counselor from Conciliation Services.
