No. A child may only make that decision when they reach the age of majority where they legally reside (18 and older in the US, depending on the state).
However the child is always free to make their wishes known to the judge, either in court when custody is being decided or if a petition for custody modification is filed, by requesting a meeting with the judge, writing a letter to the judge expressing their wishes, or engaging an attorney or guardian ad litem to speak for them. The judge will take into consideration the wishes of the child, and generally, the older the child, the more weight is given to those wishes.
Ultimately, however, the judge will rule depending on what he or she feels would be in the best interests of the child.
