Child custody agreements in the State of Missouri are always based on the best interests of the child. This means that they try to provide equal time and responsibilities for both parents so that the child can develop a meaningful relationship with both.
In the state of Missouri, a father has rights to child custody and child visitation. When sole custody is awarded to one party, they get exclusive legal custody over the child, and this can only be challenged in a Missouri court.
In reality, Georgia is the only U.S. state that lets a child choose who takes physical custody of them. Even then, the child must be 14 or older, and their choice must be approved by a judge. Thirteen states don't have statutes requiring a judge to consider a child's preference when deciding custody.
This is a misconception related to a 2016 law that encourages Missouri judges to award 50-50 custody time. The law presumes in favor joint child custody between the parents, but it only suggests the granting of equal custody. In other words, 50-50 custody is not mandated.
According to Missouri statutes, a child cannot decide which parent he/she wants to live with until he/she reaches the age of 18. It is important for the judge to determine the reasons behind why the child has expressed an interest to live with one parent and not the other.

In Missouri, the law considers \u201cjoint custody\u201d to be in the best interest of the child. If parents are unable to agree on a parenting plan, the court selects one parent as the \u201cresidential parent\u201d for school and mail purposes.
The state of Missouri is neither a "Mother State", or "Father State".
In Missouri, grandparents' rights to visitation with a minor child are defined by state statute. Pursuant to Missouri Rev. Stat. § 452.402, a court may grant reasonable visitation rights to grandparents in the following situations.
The parent with whom the child spends more than 50% of their overnight visits with is considered to be the parent exercising the majority of the child's care and control and therefore is the custodial parent regardless of tax filing status.
