Re: custody
18?
This would hint that 12 or under if the kid is developed enough.

Re: custody
I think that the opinion of a child from 12 yo is weighted in the decision. But the decision is made considering many factors, not just the child's wish.

The child may participate
An important principle for the best interests of the child is that the child may be involved in dealing with and planning matters that concern him or her. The issues, which are about to be decided and why, must be adequately explained so that the child can form and express his or her own view. Everyone, including the child, is always entitled to participate in handling of his or her own affairs. There is no age limit. The child and his or her opinions and wishes are heard so that his or her age and level of development are taken into account. For example, a small child’s feelings can be clarified by observing his or her behaviour or play. The workers must be able to explain the matters to an older child so that the child is able to understand them.
