16 in many states but the child can hire an attorney provided possibly by the courts to see what is in the best interest of the child.

I am sort of in that type of situation. I think that a child should be able to live with which ever parent they want when they get 16. The ex shouldnt be able to stop the child from living with their parent especially if they are not the parent.

Get an attorney and go to Court. Nowadays Judges will listen to children around age 14. Maybe even 12 or 13.

Just went thru that with my ex, he had our daughter and she wanted to live with me. He wouldn't let her come to see me at all and barely let her cal me. Then one weekend he gave in and let me have her. She begged not to go back and he tried to take her. She was 12 and he called the law out there and they let me keep her cuz neither had gotten custody of her. And as long as you haven't entered a custody agreement who ever has the child in their possession's and being they are over 11 in the state of Texas anyway. So if you have that right just check and see and do as I did. The law is on your side.
