Custody issues in Ohio

Not sure if anyone on here can help me or not, but I'll give it a try. I just recently found out that my ex has been working my 11 year old daughter by telling her that when she is 12 she gets to choose who she will live with. Of course, he is already priming her for when that happens, spoiling her rotten, no discipline etc....so naturally she thinks it's going to be a bed of roses....I live in Ohio and i'm just wondering if anyone knows anything about the laws in ohio regarding this sort of thing. I will be checking with my attorney about this...but am dying for an answer sooner rather than later. I have a younger son who is 6. I was also under the impression that they wouldn't split siblings up, I can only imagine the devastation this would cause to him...he idolizes his sister. I cannot image the pain of loosing one child let alone both of them. They are my life and the reason I wake each morning. Any advise would help..even where to go to to do a search about this type of thing...thank you.

I highly doubt there is any state that let's a 12 year old pick where he/she wants to live.
