"The court may consider a child's preference to live with a party unless the choice is against the child's best interests. The child's preference will be considered in varying degrees, depending on the child's age and reasons for the preference. Children under 10 years of age may not be competent to testify as a witness. However, they can be shown to be competent if they can be shown to understand what they are testifying about and that they understand what telling the truth means. There is no set age in Oregon for a child to decide where he or she will live. If the parents cannot reach a decision, the judge will decide custody. "

Most states by the time you are 12 or 13 the judge will grant custody based on the childs wishes.
