In Ontario, there is no specific age at which a child can independently decide which parent to live with. However, children aged 12 and older are generally considered capable of expressing their preferences, and the courts may give significant weight to their wishes in custody decisions. Ultimately, the best interests of the child remain the primary consideration in any custody arrangement.
