It depends on the laws in your jurisdiction. Generally, in the United States, if your parents can't make an agreement about custody the judge would have to decide. In some states the court will listen to your wishes but are in no way obligated to follow them. Your father may get shared custody and a visitation order. You can not decide fully who to live with until you are 18 years old.
