Question

Does anyone know how old can a child can make decision who she can live with( mother or father )?

Answer 1

That would depend on where you live.  Each State & County have their own laws pertaining to the issue of child custody and at what age a child can choose to live with the non-custodial parent. Here where I live it is 13, where you live it may be different. I would go to your local court and inquire or you probably could find out on the web.

Answer 2

It may vary from state to state but in NY it is age 12 unless the child has disabilities which prevents them from making good choices.

Answer 3

I believe it is 12.
