Re: legal age of child
There is no age before 18 where a child has an absolute right to do either.
If one parent or the other has a custody case in court, the law essentially says that the Judge should listen to the wishes of a 14 year old as to custody, but the judge can overrule those wishes for good cause, so it is not automatic.
Children have no right to pick a school.
