Not until you're 18 - a legal adult - can you make the choice. As a juvenile, you can't chose which parent to live with. You can, however, petition the court to hear your reasons or have one of your parents petition the court on your behalf.
Actually there is no "set" Age that a child can choose! in court the court chooses. and you can not choose if you are a minor. unless of course the parents come to an agreement where one parent gets full custody. There are some cases where a child did not want to got through the divorce in which case they end up divorcing their parents. when they do this they are put with a new family and it is seen to that they are treated Farly and with kindness. if the child ends up missing their parent then thy can choose to go back. in this case the parents must except the child back. now if the parents are cold hearted enough to not forgive the child then they may give the child up for adoption. if the child does not get adopted within 4 months after the parents gave them up the parent must once more take the child back and must pay what a normal adopter would pay. most times when this whole process is done the child ends up again divorcing their parents a second time and staying there the rest of their life. this case would be very sad in the entire united states there has only been 30 cases of this 2 in Ohio 1 in Illinois 5 in Michigan 10 in Texas and 12 in the state of California (most). these cases have all been pursued to the full extent up unto the second and final divorce from the parents.
The child already lives with the custodial parent.
In the child wants to live with the non custodial parent that parent must petition for a modification of the custody order. The "best interests of the child" is considered by the judge. The court will hear what the child has to say, if the child is old enough to reason, but will not necessarily do what the child asks.
At age eighteen the child can make their own decision.
Age 18 in 48 states. Age 12 to express an opinion. see link
18 years old.
When he/she is 18.
The age of majority in Ohio is 18. Under that age, if there is a dispute of custody during a divorce, a judge will determine who the child lives with. Of course, the judge can take into consideration a child's preference.
Child support in Ohio usually continues until the child is 18, and up to the age of 21 if the child is in school. Whether or not you have to pay child support if the child is living with the noncustodial parent depends on the support order that it is in place Typically you can expect that you will have to expect to pay support.
In Ohio it is considered abandonment if a child is neglected or suffers physical or mental injury by a parent. It is also abandonment if a parent leaves their child for any period of time without any support, money, or communication.

I live in Ohio and I do believe the child in question must live with the parent MORE than 50% of the year for that particular parent to be "the Residential Parent". In my case, it was described in the Divorce Decree that I was to be the sole custodian and residential parent. If you need further info, try calling the Ohio State Bar Association and see if they can point you in the right direction or give you the info you need- they may even be able to do it for "free". :) peggy

In Ohio, the court will consider a child's wishes regarding custody, but it is ultimately up to the judge to determine what is in the child's best interest based on all relevant factors, not solely the child's preference. Typically, children must be at least 12 years old for their preferences to be given more weight in custody decisions.
Situation: Custodial parent and child live in Nevada, non-custodial parent lives in Ohio. Possibly, but you would probably have to petition a court in Nevada.
No, a minor can not sue their own parent in the state of Iowa. A child can file for emancipation from a parent in the state.
Ohio has jurisdiction over the non-custodian parent. The Philippines has no jurisdiction over the non custodian parent and as far as I know the Philippines has no jurisdiction out side of their county.

Only if his or her parent(s) or primary custodial parent agrees to the living arrangements.
This sounds like a hearing held in Ohio to determine whether the child support payments of a non-custodial parent will be changed (adjusted).
