If you call your local department of human resources (should be several local numbers in the phone book), they will be able to provide you with the information. If not, visit the local library and just look it up in the legal section. If still no answer, I am sure there are many local lawyers that would give you that advice free. If I had to guess though, I would say probably 14 (that's the age in many states on the East Coast). Good Luck, and do not take your decision lightly.

Yesterday my hubby and I had to go to court because hubby's ex wife wanted to go for full custody. One of the statements in the ex's statement was that the 11 year old son wanted to live with her. He will be 12 next month.
The judge said that he didn't know where people got the idea that kids can get a certain age and "pick" where they want to live.
Because so many people will put their kids in the middle of a custody battle and get them to say "I want to live with ....", it puts too much stress on the kids and they become forced to say things or say things they don't really think because they don't want to hurt either parents feelings.
In our case, our son did not feel that way and freaked out when we told him that she said that and that's one of the reasons we had to go to court. He loves her but doesn't want to go live with her. The son even wrote a statement in front of the lawyers stating he wanted to live with his dad, like he had been doing. He had to sign it and do it away from us so that we could not "coach" him into saying things.
The judge completley threw out any and all arguments from the son himself and just went on facts and laws from the adults.
I live in Washington state, but the way he said it, he said almost every single state was like this.
Whatever happens, good luck. I know this is all hard, but remember, this too shall pass, for everyone involved.
