There is not an age at which a minor is allowed to choose where or with whom they wish to live. A judge may speak with an older teen concerning the issue, but the decision will be based upon the what the judge feels is best suited for the optimate well-being of the child or children involved.

∙ 9y agoGenerally, children do not have a "say" in custody matters, especially young children. A judge may consider the request of an older child, depending on the circumstances, the practice in any particular jurisdiction and the particular judge. Some courts may allow a child's wishes to be considered but the judge is not required to follow them.
