When a minor who is near the age of emancipation requests to live with a specific parent, the court generally grants the petition. This is contingent on the parent being deemed by the court acceptable for the granting of custody.

Only Texas has that law, but with significant restrictions. In all other states, it's a case by case basis, with the Judge interpreting the maturity of the child, and their intent, but this still does not override other evidence in the child's best interest. It's just a piece of the evidence.
