A parent may be blamed for acting irrespective of what the child wants after separation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the age and maturity of the child will influence the weight that the judge will give to his will. For example, a 12-year-old child can decide on the choice of his family environment without this choice being automatically followed. On the other hand, the will of a child of 17 years will be very determining in the choice of the custodial parent, while the wish of a child of 4 years will have practically no weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The parent must avoid &#8220;contaminating&#8221; the child&#8217;s perception by demonizing the other parent, which could be considered parental alienation.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The wish of a child is taken into consideration when the judge decides how to assign custody and access rights.
