California Law - Does the Court Listen to the Children? The advantage of a court listening to a child's preference is that the child may be better off staying with the parent he or she prefers. Also, the child may have a valuable perspective to add. The disadvantage is that it could lead the parents to start coaching or bribing the child, or bad-mouthing the other parent, to the child's detriment. Judges will sometimes interview children as to their preferences, giving more weight to the children's preference the older the child.
