As harsh as this may sound, a 13 year old cannot make a life decision about where he/she wants to live. This decision should be made by the parents with the best interest of the child in mind. I do feel that it is important for the 13 yr old to be able to state her wishes however I have to call back on the old cliche' about the grass being greener on the other side.
Good luck!

No I would not
if she continue like that she will never learn to stand by her decision life is not a game
she can't be allow to change address when ever she is unhappy
she needs to understand that everyday is not sunny, the road is not always strait and prefect
So dealt with bumpy raod, the rainy days, and when she has a problem where she is runing away won't fix it stay & take care of it that is what will make things work, make her a strong person
If you love her you will put your foot down for her sake
she is 13 this the time for her to learn to take responsability

I'd be interested in knowing more details. It sounds like maybe she is using this as leverage to manipulate you guys. Like "Be sure you give me everything I want because if you don't I'll go live with my other parent" or something like that.
I think she needs to decide where she wants to live and then stay put and learn to deal with any problems that come up. Or else she will learn that she can run away whenever she doesn't like something.
Of course it could also be that she just misses the other parent so wherever she lives make sure she has plenty of opportunities to visit the other parent.

I'd tell her to make up her mind because a 13 year old needs stability and shouldn't be moving everytime she feels like it. Let her stay where she is, but give her a date, say either Christmas or the end of the school year, and tell her if she still wants to move then, she can. But don't let her move on every whim, because if you do, she'll be doing this for the next five years.

Nope, she would stay right where she was and learn to grow up! Good luck.
