Children may give preference testimony and other information to a court. There are detailed procedures for judicial interviews of minor children set out both in a statute and in case law. Even with express pro ‑ cedures, judicial philosophies and attitudes towards interviewing children vary widely. Some judges will readily interview children in their office, whereas oth ‑ ers will always require the appointment of a guardian ad litem or a counsellor for the child to relay the child preference information to the court.
