It depends on where you are. In the UK, a child has to reach 16 years in order to decide where to live. In the US, the age is 18 in most (if not all states).
However, if a court is to make a ruling, they will make sure that the decision is the best one for the child. That means that the wishes of children are taken into account as they get older. In the UK, a child of 12 and above will normally get to live where they want to unless the court has reasons not to allow it. It is similar in the US in that teenagers are normally capable of expressing their views and the court will try to listen to those wishes.
Sometimes the court may have to go against the wishes of the child when it thinks that it is necessary for the well being of the child.
It can be a complicate and delicate process but most teenagers should have a chance to express their views to a court.
