[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Letting the teenager choose who to live with is crappy and selfish. Forcing the poor kid to decide "do you love mommy or daddy best?" is despicable.[/quote] Most judges talk with the kid(s) privately and don’t reveal what their preferences were. They will minimize the extent to which they took the kid’s preferences into account, even if they gave them substantial weight, to help insulate the kid from parental resentment or hurt feelings. Most judges can tell when a kid has been coached on what to say (and know which lawyers tend to coach) and don’t reward it. They can tell which kids have it together enough to have a thoughtful opinion on the custody arrangement. [/quote]
