Florida 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.
In Florida, the court may consider the child's preference, if the judge considers the child to
be of sufficient intelligence, understanding and experience to express a preference.
