It depends on your state. A judge takes a child's input into consideration at 12 years old, but sometimes will not let them switch residences until 13 or 14. A child can request a hearing through child services to voice their opinion at 12 years old.

it is different in different states, speak to a civil lawyer who specializes in child custody as to what age the judge will except input from the child as to primary custody. Most places I think it is 10-12.

It probably depends on the state, but I was able to decide where I wanted to live at the age of 14.

Depends on the state you are living in. Most seem to think 12 years old is the appropriate age. You need to talk to someone who knows the laws in your state.

by age 8, after age 7 the courts take into account what a child testifies to, so by 8 they should certainly listen to who the child wants to live with, take the child to a physciatrist for only one visit, [and get his opinion] if you can afford to.

They usually award custody to the mother.
Under the often mistaken idea that the mother is always the best parent.
