Generally speaking, they'll always consider them, they just won't attach a great deal of weight to them until the child is older. 12 years old is a commonly cited age at which the court starts taking the child's wishes seriously.

What is the legal age a child can leave their mom and live with their dad in Alberta?
If you are still a minor it's the parents who decide unless the child is considered mature enough to make that decision. The court will look at the childs; - maturity - age - reason for wanting to move - how strongly the child feel about wanting to live with that parent - there is no specific age given but the older the child is the more weight it will give to the childs wish. The wishes of a child age 12 and up are usually taken into consideration, and an older teenager's wishes are likely to be decisive.

Does a father have legal rights to care for a child after 16 years of no support after the mother dies?
At 16 it is the childs' choice. The errant father certainly has no legal rights to the child. Laws pertaining to child custody are set by the state in which the minor and his/her custodial parent or legal guardian have established residency. Although a father has not been involved the child's life it does not automatically exclude him from filing a custody petition. Parental rights can only be terminated in two ways, voluntarily or by order of a court of jurisdiction. As long as the child is deemed a minor pursuant to the laws of the state of residency, age is not a factor. In most cases the judge presiding over a custody hearing would take into account the wishes of a sixteen years old.
