In Kansas, the age is 18, because a minor child does not have the legal capacity to make a custody decision. However, the older a child is, the more likely a judge is to take into consideration the child's wishes. Likewise, the more mature acting the child is, the more likely a judge will take into consideration the child's wishes.
