Legal Question in Federal Tort Claims in Florida

Child choosing parent to live with

I live in Fl w/ my 2 children. Their father in CA says that at 12 they can choose which parent to live with and has convinced my son to move to Ca. Is this true? What recourse do i have as i am not in agreement with him moving at this time.
