      The “child’s right” to choose which parent to live with varies considerably from state to state. There seems to be a misconception among parents that there is a “magical age” (usually 12, 13, or 14) at which a child can “choose” one custodial arrangement over another.   http://traversecityfamilylaw.com/CanAChildChoose.htm

        Legally it's 14 in Australia.

            I would think 14 or 15years old is soon enough for a child to make that decision. Although, sometimes it may depend on the circumstances.
