See CA Family Law Code 3040 - 3048 http://www.steveshorr.com/MATTERS_CONSIDERED_IN_GRANTING_CUSTODY.htm#custody many things come into play here. even though not required, a judge would be hard pressed not to consider things such as criminal history, job status, and area of residence. there needs to be a simple stable environment for the child to function well and possibly attend school. get whatever you are seeking in writing signed by a judge and argued by a lawyer. best of luck.

The judge will consider what the child wants but will not do what the child wants. The judge will make a determination based upon what he/she believes, within the framework of law and reason, is best for the child. A fifteen year old may have the right to say what he believes is in his best interest, but he does not get to make the final decision.

Ex-boyfriend lied to a judge and the judge gave him temporary custody?

I assume that the "ex-boyfriend" is also the father of the child. If you believe that he lied to gain custody, you can file a motion/petition for a custody re-hearing and be prepared to demonstrate that he lied, and that you are a 'fit' mother to have custody of the child.

Can a child in Ohio choose who they live with?

In Ohio, the court will consider a child's wishes regarding custody, but it is ultimately up to the judge to determine what is in the child's best interest based on all relevant factors, not solely the child's preference. Typically, children must be at least 12 years old for their preferences to be given more weight in custody decisions.
