- A: It is true that due to her age she might be granted teen-age discretion. However, if you are able to prove that in spite of her age, being with her father full time is not in her best interest due to lack of supervision, rules, proper discipline and/or guidance, the judge might not award teen-age discretion and will either continue with the joint custody or possibly modify it to give you more time with your daughter.

Also, due to the length of time of the marriage you may be entitled to spousal support, depending on your situation.
