My real mother won't let stay with my father. So, in the State of Colorado at what age at what age can I decide what parent I want to live with?

Re: childs rights concerning child custody
1. You must be 18 to make that decision;
2. At age 14 you may express your wishes which will be honored but not necessarily followed by a judge who will decide what is in your best interests;
3. Your father can return to court to request modification of custody to provide him with primary physical custody of you, and you could testify in that proceeding.
