Technically, there is no age at which a child can make that choice. The custodial parent has an obligation to make sure the child is going with the other parent for his/her parent time and if that's not happening, the custodial parent may run into some problems with the court. Generally, if a child is protesting going with the other parent for parent time, it's usually based in some deeper problems that maybe should be addressed in therapy for the child or therapy that involves the child and the non-custodial parent.
