Legal age for minor child to decide on guardianship

[richrdsn67]

My stepson is 14, and lives with his father in Ohio. He was finally able to visit me and his two brothers this month. He loves it here, and desperately wants to live with my family and I. His father-my exhusband-and grandmother say no, that he needs to be there with them. Is there as age when he is able to make his own decision, or does he have to wait until he is 18? Please help!

If they say no, then he has to wait until he is 18. Now if you were the bio mom, that would be different.
