In Washington state, a 14-year-old child cannot choose which parent to live with independently. However, if one parent consents to the child living with a grandparent and the arrangement is in the best interests of the child, the court may consider the child's preference when making a custody decision. Ultimately, the court will prioritize the well-being and care of the child.
