In Indiana and in other US states, child custody laws are complicated. Despite a minor's choice as to which parent they wish to live with, it can be a delicate situation. Normally a state child care agency will have its own recommendation. To make any change and be sure, a court will take into account many factors and reach a decision.

Yes. A child as young as 11 years old can choose which parent they wish to live with. It doesn't mean however that a judge will grant it, it merely means that the child can file formally with the court for a change in custody.
First, the child has no specific right to choose which parent to live with without a court order. As to this issue, the other parent could file an emergency motion for custody on the grounds of abandonment.
In Mexico a minor can choose which parent to live with at the age of 14.
The only states with specific laws addressing this is Indiana and Texas. Beyond that, they simply have a right to express and opinion.
yep, if you are over 12 then you can choose what parent to live with
If you are 18 you are no longer a minor and can choose to live with either parent (or neither).
With the court's permission.
well I think that when you turn 13 you can choose what parent you want to live with. But that's just my opinon.
When you are 18 year old, you can choose where you want to live.
