No. A minor's signature on an affidavit has no legal meaning as they cannot enter in to such contracts until they reach the age of majority (in Arizona, 18). However the child does have the right to write to the judge with jurisdiction over the case requesting a change or modification to the existing custody order, or engage an attorney or guardian ad litem to petition the court for the same. The judge may or may not meet with the child for further discussion and their wishes may or may not be taken into consideration. However, it can't hurt to try and generally, the older the child, the more weight given to their preference, as long as there are no conditions present at the other parent's home that would present a hazard to the child's welfare.
