In most states, a child has to reach what is called the "age of majority" (age in which the child is recognized as an adult for making legal decisions, entering into contracts, etc.) before they can make that decision and the age of majority varies from state to state. It can be as low as 18 or as high as 21 depending on where the child lives. However, almost all states allow the child, a parent or a guardian ad litem to write to the judge and/or petition the court for modification of the original custody agreement. The child's wishes will be taken into consideration and the older they are, the more weight will be assigned to them. But ultimately, it is the court's responsibility to decide what is in the best interests of the child, even though the child may not agree with that decision.
