Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

My husband and I are going througha divorce. My children (12 & 15) want to stay with their dad. Their dad has vowed to fight for what they want and he wants full custody. I want to share custody but don't want to push my kids back & forth between two homes. I was told that a judge would ask the children where they want to stay and that would be the deciding factor. Although I don't want to force my kids to stay with me if they don't want to. I do want to be an active part of their lives and want shared custody. Will the court deny me that right even if my kids want to stay with their dad?
