After hearing the proper motions, the court may decide to interview children who are at
least 12 years old in cases involving modification of custody orders. The Judge will
interview the child privately to determine where the child wants to live. The Judge may
even decide to interview children younger than 12 years of age. Be forewarned, the court
will always base its decision on the best interest of the child and not necessarily on the
childs interview.
Relinquishment of Possession
Modification of the custody order can also occur if the primary parent voluntarily gives
up care and custody of the child to the other parent for at least six months. This does not
apply to military members who are deployed, mobilized, or called up for training.
