I certainly cannot speak authoritatively for all states in the US or in foreign countries. As a general rule, child custody issues are determined by state law in the US. It is likely determined by the state where the divorce was finalized (regardless of where you live now). While certainly not universal, it is common for the law to make NO provision for a child to make a determination about with which parent he or she will live. This is true, regardless of the child's age. So long as a person is a minor (under the age of 18), he or she may not make their own determination about which parent will provide the primary home.

As far as I know about that question, I don't think there is an age limit. I think it all depends on the situation, and what's best for the child.

Can a child 15 and 16yrs old say who they want to live with?
Is that between a child's parents? if so it is ultimately up to the parents. But, most parents will let the child decide who they want to live with.
Can your 16 year old daughter live with her biological father for one year even though you have sole custody and live in Canada?
I don't know your situation, but you can do anything as long as both parties agree. What I mean by both parties is mother and father. If mother and father agree, and the 16 year old wants to live with her father for a year, then it is OK. If the parents do not agree, then a court hearing may be necessary to hear both sides and decide what is best for your daughter. Being that your daughter is 16, she will have some say in court as well.

What age can a child choose witch parent to live with in Washington?
Minors are not allowed to make that decision, if the parents cannot reach an agreement concerning custody the issue will be decided by a judge. Judges make such decisions based solely on what is in the best interest of the child and not what the child, the parents, nor any interested party prefers. Usually at the age of 12, a child will have more say in the eyes of a judge

Can a 16 year old whose parents have joint custody move in with either parent?
In my state (Georgia) when a child is 14 and both parents are in a position to care for the child then the child can choose which parent he/she wants to live with. The judge will of course have the final say so, but the child's wishes are greatly considered.
Can a fifteen year old leave his paternal grandparent who has permanent temporary custody and live with his sister and maternal grandparents in Georgia?
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.
How old can a child be to say if she or he wants to spend more time parent?

Is a 17 year old considered legally emancipated once she has a child?
No, having a child does not automatically emancipate a 17-year-old. Emancipation typically requires a legal process where the minor demonstrates financial independence and the ability to live separately from their parents. Having a child may affect custody and support arrangements but does not grant automatic emancipation.
How old do you have to be to live alone?
The legal age to live alone varies by location. In most places, you must be at least 18 years old to sign a lease or rental agreement. However, there are exceptions for younger individuals who have parental or guardian consent.

Nope. She was responsible for the child who got pregnant. She cannot deny her responsibility for the child's actions.
