There's no state in which courts are bound by law to allow a minor to live where they want, and in pretty much all states courts will at least listen to the child's opinion. It's pretty common to not assign much weight to it before age 12 or so (figuring that the reasoning process of a child that young is likely to consist almost solely of something like "daddy gives me candy, I like candy, I want to live with daddy"), but even after that, the child's wishes are merely one factor that the court will consider.
