My name is Laura I am 16 yeas old and I think that a 15 year old can decide who he wants to live with. His old enough to start making decisions of his own. However that doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants. I just think that's a decision he can make on his own, and whatever decision he makes know that is his decision try to understand him. Good Luck

∙ 13y agoOnly Indiana and Texas has laws setting out a specific age at which a child can make a choice the court is required to 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. Check link below for more info.
