More details to this question:
I have primary, my ex has secondary in the form of visitation. Do the kids have a voice if they no longer want to see the other parent being 13 and 12 years? Will a judge listen? We are in North Carolina.
At that age, the Judge can allow the children to speak with him or her but does not have to take anything they say under advisement. It is in the Judge's discretion.
