At 12 years old, your child can have a say in who they would prefer to live with going forward. This measure is sometimes called ?teenage discretion.? The idea is that a child can make logical decisions about how much time they want to spend with each parent.

In North Dakota, custody is called ?parental rights and responsibilities.? When a judge makes an order for parental rights and responsibilities, s/he will decide two basic things: ?decision-making responsibility? and ?residential responsibility.?

There are no hard-and-fast rules as to the age at which a child is considered mature enough to testify as to a preference regarding residential responsibility. A court might find a ten year old in one case mature enough to express a preference, but find otherwise regarding a thirteen year old in another case.

The North Dakota Department of Human Services says they recommend a child must be at least 9 years old before he or she is left alone. North Dakota says ages 0-8 must not be left alone under any circumstances.
