In Indiana a child does not get to choose which parent to live. However, around the age of fourteen they can express their wishes to a judge and their request will be considered. The judge is not under an obligation to grant the request. See related link for more information.
does a child's age,being 12 yrs. old improve my chance of gaining custody of my daughter,in Indiana?
As a minor, you don't really have that right. Custody has to be arranged by your parents; if necessary, a court will assign an advocate for you to advocate your rights in court, but the court would still then make the final decision.
Once custody has been determined by a court it would take another court order to change that arrangement. The court may listen to a child's request to change custody but it is under no obligation to modify the custody order at the child's request. The court would be looking for an appropriate reason to order a change in custody such as the custodial parent being unfit and the change being in the best interest of the child.
A child is free to decide which parent to live with in every state once they have reached eighteen years of age.
age 14, however it still requires a custody modification filed with the courts.

Unfortunately that is not your decision. The courts will decide which parent you live with or if you live with both. The court may take into consideration your feelings on this matter.

They should help choose it and not fully chose it for you.
you can either be happy about it (i highly doubt it), or you can choose which parent to live with, or live with a different relative
No. Children are assigned to parents.
Sometimes, parents want to choose their children's lives FOR them, and that's wrong. Some parents want doctors, lawyers and even soldiers, but those decisions are up to their children.

Because they want their children to have a superior education.
No, the children have the right to live that lifestyle. I'd just accept it for what it is.
