In Colorado, you can say it whenever you want - however, the minor child has no RIGHT to have that wish translated into a court decision.
In ANY state, one would hopefully expect that the court will take into consideration the wishes of the child. Before it comes before the court, though, one would expect the parents to take the child's wishes into consideration when deciding what parenting time arrangement is in the child's best interest as well as the parents particular circumstances.
A child has the right to love each parent for who they are, regardless of any fingerpointing or blame assignments. Generally speaking, it's a horrible thing for a child to have to go through but I bless you in walking in victory over the situation, rather than being a victim or survivor of a painful event.

Im going through this with my daughter right now the there is no magic age although if you are over 13 your wishes are very much taken into consideration depending on your maturity
The Courts are set up for the best interest of the child therefore if you show maturity and good reasoning there should be no reason why you can make that decision yourself

right now is good --- it's up to the court/judge. Your wishes will be taken into account --- it also depends upon why you want to live with your mom and if there's anything in the custody agreement that you don't know about. You have to talk to your parents about this one...

I assume that this is because your parents divorced. If that's so, this may be spelled out in the divorce agreement. You'll have to ask them. In general, I'd say it would be when you are about 12-13.

It depends on the state laws governing family law. In Texas I know it's 10 years old, as long as they are emancipated.
