Answer 1

Only Indiana and Texas has laws setting out a specific age at which a child can make a choice the court is requiredto abide by, and even than there are some limitations. With those states, it is age 14. In all other states, the general rule of thumb is that a 12 year old can express and opinion, however the judge is under not legal obligation to consider, or even hear it. In either case, a motion to the court must be filed for a determination to be made. The primary problem here is not your age, it is the relocating outside the jurisdiction of the court. What you may think of your stepfather will take a back seat to this issue.
