* If the custodial parent agreed to let the child stay for a certain time and this is in writing, that parent should not be able to force the child's return home without a good reason. * If the permission was just word-of-mouth, it is shaky ground; the courts would likely favour the custodial parent and require the child to return. * If the child petitions the court themselves, it is not likely that they will be listened to, especially if the current custodial parent fights that choice. * You may be able to argue that the child obviously has reasons for wanting to now live with the other parent - knowing those reasons would help a lot - and the current custodial is fighting to repress their freedom of choice. * If you are lucky enough to find a good lawyer and get a compassionate judge, they may find in favour of changing the custody to the other parent, or at least giving them more visitation.
