The law is, the child cannot make that decision themselves until they reach the age of majority in Maine which is 18. Otherwise, it is by court order only if the parents cannot come to an agreement.
However the child is always free to make their wishes known to the judge, either in court when custody/visitation is being decided or request a modification to the original visitation order by requesting a meeting with the judge, writing a letter to the judge expressing their wishes, or engaging an attorney or guardian ad litem to speak for them. The judge will take into consideration the wishes of the child, and generally, the older the child, the more weight is given to those wishes.
Ultimately, however, the judge will rule depending on what he or she feels would be in the best interests of the child.
