18, unless of course if they are 16 and want to be emancepated, but they would have to be able to support themselves 100%, meaning no one could be helping them.

The child does not get to decide where they want to live however a judge will consider a child's wishes only if the child is mature enough to make a thoughtful choice. I don't think that there is a set age though.
