No. The court will appoint her a legal guardian she will live with. However, at that age, the court will consider her wishes. There is no guarantee that a court will make a ruling in line with the wishes of the child but if her wishes are reasonable, the court may decide that they are in the best interests of the child. Any custody hearing will make a decision for the child's best interests and no two cases are the same.
