Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia
Which state's laws are followed in a child custody matter, resident state or issuing state.?
If a child lives with a custodial parent in a state where the age for a child to decide if they want to live with one parent or the other is 14,GA, and the custody order is issued in a state,PA, where there is no such law or choice given to the child, which state's laws are followed. I have read that the state the child resided in for a period of six months straight prior to filing for the child to decide is the state which the laws are followed. But what if summer(may-aug) and christmas visitation break up that six month period and the child isn't in one place for six months consecutively.

Since none of us here have read the court order, it would be impossible to answer this question.
