When husband and I were trying to get custody of his son, that is what we were told, that when he was 13, he could choose for himself which one to live with. Of course, the other parent was putting a lot of pressure on the son, but he finally lived with us. Don't know if you can just do this on your own, but if an attorney or courts are involved, I believe at 13, they seriously take the child's wishes into consideration, at least in the state we are in.
