Answer 1

Im Pretty Sure The Age Is 12 or 13 That They Can Pick Who

Answer 2

My mom's a psychiatrist and deals with this kind of stuff a lot, I know she treats a 14-or-15-yr-old who chose to live with her dad probably 6 months ago. Maybe even a year ago. The cutoff, though is 13.

Answer 3

12+ is the usual age... if a child is younger but very mature they may choose to petition the court to live with one parent or the other.

Answer 4

The age is 12, 11 sometimes if the child can petition the court with a good enough reason.  But the main age is 12 and up.  

Answer 5

I chose to live with my mom when I was 12 or 13.  They had me tell my dad my decision.  It is one of two times I've ever seen my dad cry.  It's really not easy on a kid.
