    Can an 11 year old choose to live with grandparents?

    Answer: A minor does not have a right to choose his residence, and is subject to the custody and control of his parent or legal custodian until emancipated. If the mother is awarded custody, grandparents’ visitation may be granted if the court determines that the visitation is in the best interest of the child.
