Not if the visitation has been ordered by the court.
Assuming there are grounds for such, the custodial parent would need to file suit (petition) to have the visitation order amended. The non custodial parent, of course, would have the opportunity to contest the action.

∙ 10y agoYou can make a decision, sure.
Your decision may or may not have much influence, though. Only the court can make the determination of who you live with. They'll probably take your wishes into consideration, but at 11, they're not likely to have a great deal of weight (12 is generally the age at which they start taking kids seriously, and even then, the kid's wishes are just one of many factors in the decision).

∙ 13y agoOnly Indiana and Texas has laws setting out a specific age at which a child can make a choice the court is requiredto abide by, and even than there are some limitations. With those states, it is age 14. In all other states, the general rule of thumb is that a 12 year old can express and opinion, however the judge is under not legal obligation to consider, or even hear it. In either case, a motion to the court must be filed for a determination to be made. However, the child should be informed that there are alternatives to choosing to live with just one parent. The child should also be advised they can express a choice that they remain in one home and each parent can live with them for a designated period of time, than switch. This is called Bird Nest Custody.

∙ 11y ago"There is, to my knowledge, no specific law governing that," said Steuben County, Indiana Sheriff Rick Lewis. "I know some parents think it's OK to leave children who are 10 years old home alone. I feel strongly that a 10-year-old child is not old enough to be left unsupervised." See Link below for all State legal age limits for home alone children.

Can a 16-year-old choose to live with his non custodial parent in Missouri?
Once you are 14 years of age you can choose if you want to live with your mother or your father. you have to talk to a judge about it so they can make it legal for you to move in with your other parent and make it so they have costody over you. ~Erica~ Minors are not allowed to choose with whom they wish to live, this includes parents, grandparents and other relatives. In cases of parental custodianship the court usually does not intervene when a minor moves from the custodial parent's home to the non custodial parent's home until (unless) the custodial parent files a request to have the minor returned to the primary residence. The matter can become very involved especially if there is a child support order in place pertaining to the non custodial parent. If this is the case said parent cannot cease paying child support without the risk of being in contempt of a court order and thereby incurring futher legal difficulties.
