Note please that there's a difference between "consider the request" and "do whatever the child wants".

Does a child have a choice in custody?

Generally, no. In some cases a judge will consider a child's request but is under no obligation to follow it. You should keep in mind that judges must consider the best interest of the child and thus the parent who would be the best choice.
