My son has always lived with his mother.
She has never let him see me.
He is nearly 16 and has turned up on my doorstep asking if he can stay with me and my family.
How old does he need to be to be able to decide for himself?

18. However, his wishes MAY be taken into consideration if you were to petition for change of custody.
