What state issued your custody order?
If it wasn't Georgia, no, your daughter cannot choose. However, at age 15 most Judges will give a child's wishes some consideration, although it will be totally up to the Judge. You can file for a change of custody and you'll need to prove to the court that the change will be in your daughter's best interests.
Get a consult with an attorney in whatever state the order is in to get a complete idea of how likely your chances are.
