If you live in the United States, generally a minor child cannot decide with whom to live until they reach the age of majority in their state of residence. That can vary from age 18 to 21 depending on the state.
However, almost all states allow the child, a guardian ad litem or attorney acting on their behalf, to write to the judge and/or petition the court for modification of the original custody agreement. The child's wishes will be taken into consideration and the older they are, the more weight will be assigned to them. But ultimately, it is the court's responsibility to decide what is in the best interests of the child, even though the child may not agree with that decision.
