The court will listen to the child at the age of 14 and up. You can always file a motion and ask the court for custody.

In the state of WA a GAL will have to get involved. The child tells the GAL where they want to live and the GAL investigates. If it is soley because they have more fun ...or because the other parent allows them to do whatever they want then more than likely it won't happen. It also depends on how mature the child appears to be. You can have a 16yr old who acts 10 and a 13yr old who acts 17. It is all based on what the GAL says...not a judge or the child. Good Luck.
