Since it requires court approval, depends on the court case load. A 14 year does not have that choice outside the courts. see link below

Can a fourteen year old child decide to live with a grandparent in Washington state if he has the consent of one parent?
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.

Can a fourteen year old petition the courts for a change of their own custody order in Pennsylvania?
No. If this is a case where you want to live with the non-custodial parent, then the non-custodial parent can petition for a change in custody. If this is a case where you want to live somewhere other than with a parent, that won't happen without your parents permission unless your parents are proven to be unfit (it takes A LOT to prove unfitness) and even then you may end up in the custody of the state, instead with whomever it is that you're wanting to live with (for example, the court will not award custody to your boyfriends parents, but they award custody to one of your family members).

If you have joint custody of a child can this child move in with you?

Can a child living in Mississippi choose to live with a parent living out of state?
A minor can not choose where to live. That is up to the parents or the court depending on the details. If your non-custodial parent who lives out of state wants you to live with him/her, they have to petition for custody unless your custodial parent will consent to the change and join in a modification of the custody order.

Research and statistics have shown that teen mothers often quit school, live in poverty, and raise their children as a single parent. This is not good for the parent or child.
What age a child can ask to live with a parent?
This depends upon the age of the child and the child's maturity. Generally, in New York State when a child is fourteen (14) years old the Judge gives great deference to the child's wishes. Living with one parent also depends on the best interests of the child; perhaps one parent does not have an suitable housing for the child. That is a consideration, and even if the child is 14 years old and desires to live with that parent, the parent with inadequate housing might not get custody. Mildred J. Michalczyk
