As a matter of law, a child in Ontario is able to withdraw from parental control at age 16, thereby having the right to make her or his decision as to which parent to live with. In cusdody disputes, a judge will place greater weight on the child's preference from about age 12 upward.

A court may listen to your opinion starting at about 13 or 14, but they will never allow you to choose custody rights yourself. You will be allowed to make decisions yourself when you are the age of 18.

18, the age of majority in Ontario. However for the purpose of child custody, the child does have the right to make their wishes known to the court. Exact procedure on how to do this varies with jurisdiction, so consult an attorney or the family court in your area for more information.

A child is not allowed to decide that so not as long as they are a minor.
