My 7 year old wants to go live with her dad...

Question

She has said this same thing for over a month now. She did not come up with this because she was upset. She said she misses her daddy and her dog. We split up in Nov. 07, he lives in MD and I am in PA 4.5 hours away from each other.

We actually have a pretty good relationship and had always agreed that if either one of our children wanted to go live with the other parent we would let them.

Do you think a 7 year old is still to young to make that decision?

Answer 1

Well you already said that you had agreed to let the children choose.  She wants to live with her dad so let her.  She might decide she doesn't like it and come back. I would let her go right away, so she can decide before school starts. (that is if your schools start in September)
