Whether 13 and 15 year old children have the right to choose where they want to live, will depend on what state you live in and what state the divorce was finalized in. A judge will almost always take in to consideration the feelings of the children. In a majority of the US states, children have the right to choose which parent they want to live with beginning at age 12.

Only two states allow a specific choice in this. See link below.
