well for Califonia specificly I don't know but when my parents got divorced I was told I could decide when I was 14 but if you want to move in with a parent who say no you cant for example I wanted to move in with my dad he said no so I couldn't but If lets say you want to move in with your dad and your mom says no but your dad says its ok then you still can move in with your dad. You still have to go through the court system to make it official.
It is not a crime because the parent is the legal guardian (usually) and has the right to decide what is right for their child.

As long as you are a minor you can not decide legally where to live.
When they can say it.
Yes, since the child will be under 16 years old, the child cannot legally decide by themselves that they will not go there. (Assuming that the parent is the child's legal guardian).
In California, there is no specific minimum age requirement to be a legal parent. However, individuals under 18 may need parental consent or a court order to establish certain parental rights.
Legal age to decide which parent to live with in the state of utah?

18 years. But children are always a parent's best friend.
In California, parents are legally responsible for their children until they reach the age of 18.
