At what age can a child choose which parent to live with in WI?

My stepdaughter is 11 and doesn't get along well with her mother. There is joint custody between both parents, but she is thinking that she would like to live with dad, and visit mom when she has time for her. But mom says no way, at what age in Wisconsin can she choose, and how does the process go? Any info would be great. Thank you.At what age can a child choose which parent to live with in WI?
A child never gets to choose who they want to live with. However, at a certain age (I believe it's 12), they actually get to have a say on who they want to live with. Ultimately, the judge gets to decide, not the child. One parent has to fill out the paperwork and go through the process of changing the custody agreement to allow the child to have their say. You can probably get the exact age in your state by calling Social Services.At what age can a child choose which parent to live with in WI?
call your counselor at the child support office and ask. but i think its 13
