    AT 18 they can go and live with who they want

    Before that you have to go to court and file for a change in custody
    Some courts will talk to chidren 11, others want them to be at least 12.

    The judge will also look at other issues, so the other parent can show reasons this should not happen also. Just because they want to, does not mean the judge will but they will consider what the child wants
