On one hand, it's important that those children who understand what's going on are given the opportunity to have a say in the outcome of their living situations, but on the other hand, there is concern that children could potentially be used by arguing parents to sway outcomes, and that younger or less mature children may find this process stressful. It could be confusing for them, and the potential for anxiety to arise when a child feels that they have to choose between one parent or another is not something that we should be supporting through legislation. So as to allowing the voices of our children to be heard, it's worded as an opportunity, and we need to ensure that very clear guidelines are in place to make sure that the children are not adversely affected by good intentions to give them their voice.
