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.
yes
