Normally after 14 the court relies heavily on the wishes of the children, if both parents are considered equal. Both caring and loving, both stable homes and food in the cupboards. My judge split the kids, the older children were old enough to deceid and stayed with me, the youngest was not and the ex fought custody for over a year and won.
So the judge will split the kids, it all depends on the attorneys envolved and if they play fair or not. I was labeled a bad mom becasue I worked and he was a stay at home disabled father that could provide better for the child because he was home full time. a bunch of bs, but in the end if this is what is ordered you have no choice but to comply.
