With the increase in custody disputes over the last several years, judges are becoming more involved than ever in issues regarding children's daily lives. While judges often make decisions as to where a child should live, the increase in disagreement among parents as to a multitude of issues seems never-ending. These issues are wide-ranging such as a should a child be permitted to take gender-affirming hormones, what school should a child attend and even whether a child should be permitted to participate on a travel sports team. In many of these instances, judges will meet with a child as part of the process. The questions the judge will ask the child will vary based on the child's age, maturity and the subject of the dispute.
