<p>Both 是不是你想离开 and 你是不是想离开 are correct and can mean the same.</p>
<p>However, it's worth to mention that in 是不是你想离开, when you put a tone emphasis on 你 like 是不是'<em><strong>你</strong></em>'想离开, it would mean <em><strong>Is it you that want to leave</strong></em>, implying it's you, not others.</p>

So if I want to use `是不是你想离开` to emphasize `Is it true that you want to leave`, I better put a break between  `是不是` and `你想离开` while speaking? like `是不是,   你想离开`

@OConnor You can do that but don't have to.  The sentence itself already denotes that sense.

<p>I think it is correct to say <code>是不是想离开</code> to emphasize whether it is true that you want to leave.</p>
<p>I wonder if I want to add <code>你</code>, where should it be in the sentence?</p>
<p><code>是不是你想离开</code> or <code>你是不是想离开</code>?</p>

I think it is correct to say `是不是想离开` to emphasize whether it is true that you want to leave.

I wonder if I want to add `你`, where should it be in the sentence?

`是不是你想离开` or `你是不是想离开`?

Both 是不是你想离开 and 你是不是想离开 are correct and can mean the same.

However, it's worth to mention that in 是不是你想离开, when you put a tone emphasis on 你 like 是不是'***你***'想离开, it would mean ***Is it you that want to leave***, implying it's you, not others.

[是不是] [想离开] = [do] (subject omitted) [want to leave?]

[是不是你] [想离开?] = [Is it you who] [want to leave?]

[是不是] [你想离开?] = [Is it] [you want to leave?]

[你是不是] [想离开?] = [Do you] [want to leave?]

To add the subject '你' to '是不是想离开', It should be placed before the sentence, 是不是想离开, and 你是不是想离开 would have the same meaning. "是不是你想离开?" could change the meaning of "是不是想离开?"

是不是**你**想离开 or **你**是不是想离开, both of them are correct.

You could also say 是不是想離開了**你**？ It's very oral, informal but commonly used by native user.(Taiwan)
