In new york how old does a child have to be to go to court and say they don't want to see a relative?
As long as the minor is not emancipated they are under the control and guidance of their parent(s) or guardian(s).
If the questioner is asking about refusing to see a parent, the court MAY take their opinion into consideration, but does not have to honor their request. The court, in most cases< wishes the child to maintain contact with BOTH parents.

In the state of Maine how old does a child have to be to choose which parent they want to live with?
In Maine, a child does not have the legal right to choose which parent they want to live with. The court will consider the child's preference as one factor among many when determining custody arrangements, typically starting around age 12. Ultimately, the court will prioritize the best interests of the child in making custody decisions.

How does the court decide on a relitave that a child can live with if the child doesnt want to live with either of their parents?
A child is not allowed to choose who to live with, that is up to the parents or the court to decide. In some states the child can say what they wish but the judge is in no way obligated to follow that wish. And the relative have to let the parents know they are interested so the parents can go to court and have custody changed and decide on how much child support is going to be paid to the relative. So unless you are abused by your parents, in that case contact the Child Protective Agency, your parents are the ones deciding for you and they are the ones you should turn to. In case of abuse the social workers will ask relatives if they are interested and if they are, they have to petition the court for custody or foster care.

No. Child support is mandated by law and set by the court. You would have to petition the court, and they might change it, but they will probably not cancel it.
