Answer:

The older the child is, the more likely the judge will listen to the child's stated preferance. But the age when a child can choose a parent during a custody batte is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the parent has been charged in the past for child endangerment, the parent will probably lose custody of the child.

Whether the endangerment is mental or physical, it is a parent's responibility to provide a safe environment for their child/children.

Answer:

At what age can a child choose the parent during a custody battle in New Jersey? - Sufficient age and capacity have not been defined by law in NJ. Instead, a court has the discretion to evaluate each child's ability to participate in a meaningful way. This means that a child who is 10 may, in some situations, be able to have input into where he or she will live after a divorce. Also what is the probability a parent could win custody if they have a history of being charged with endangering a child's welfare? - There is a low probability because the parent will cause harm to the child. Although child endangerment charges vary in severity, the court always takes them seriously. If you have a past child endangerment charge, then a judge will hold it against you in your battle for custody rights.

Explanation: Hope it helps!
