Probate Court
If the parents have never married and live separately with their own parents, a court would need to decide on custody. Typically, the court will place the child with the mother, but the best interests of the child are primary.
You cannot decide. You can have the other parent request a change of custody, but you cannot do it yourself. They will usually listen to your opinion in court, especially if you are an older teenager.
