In Washington State, there is no specific age at which a child can decide which parent they want to live with. However, the court may take the child's preferences into consideration if they are deemed to be mature enough to express reasoned and intelligent opinions about their custodial arrangement.

The court makes the final decision, but they will take your wishes into consideration when making that decision.
