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.

When a parent gives up parental right's does a child of sixteen still have the right to live with that parent?

No they do not. You will need someone to have custody of you. And if the parent want their child to stay and be the parent they would not give up their rights. There would be no point. To decide where to live you have to be 18 so this is something your parents decide for you and by giving up his/hers rights they can not make any decisions regarding the child. The only thing they still have a right to do is to pay child support.
