Legal Question in Family Law in Colorado

Custody of Children

My wife has asked for a divorce and wants to take our 3 children. I want custody and my children want to live with me (at least the oldest 2). My children are 7, 5, and 2. At what age will the court allow children to choose which parent they live with?
