Does a 16yr old need a lawyer to request change in custody between parents?

If you live in the US... The minor cannot do that. The non-custodial parent would have to file a petition with the court (they can do it without an attorney, but personally, I wouldn't). The court will consider the minor's wishes when making the ruling, but they are not required to abide by the minor's wishes. It's just one factor of many that they consider.

How old does a child have to be to decide where they want to live in nh?
Once custody has been awarded by a court it would take another court order to change that arrangement. The court may listen to a child's request to change custody but it is under no obligation to modify the custody order at the child's request. The court would be looking for an appropriate reason to order a change in custody such as the custodial parent being unfit and the change being in the best interest of the child.
