YES you actually can, considering the circumstances. Your 16 so you can decide who you want to live with. But in some cases you can't. For instance if a judge finds that the other parent is uncapable of raising you or is unfit to raise you then you really don't have a choice. Some determining factors would be income,drug use,history of mental illnesses and so on and so forth Hope I helped =]

See related question, but you do not want to complain to family services, as the child will simply be put into foster care, than returned to the custodial parent. In less than 15% of the cases do they give the child to the other parent. The other parent will need to collect evidence and file a custody challenge. The child has the right to an opinion, but not to choose.
