It is a misconception that a minor can choose with which parent they want to live, regardless of the state in which you live. Even if the child is in their teens, it is the judge who decides. However, during a custody case, the judge will often ask the child which parent they want to live with, and why. But the final decision is still up to the judge after both parents (with their attorneys) present their case in court.

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.
