Who should decide a child's guardian?

When should a child of separated parents be allowed to choose which is his or her legal guardian?

A British girl says she travelled voluntarily to Pakistan to live with her Pakistani father, brother and sister. Molly Campbell had been missing from her home in the Western Isles for a week, and there were fears she had been abducted.

Her mother and legal guardian, Louise Campbell, had made an emotional appeal for the return of her daughter, but the 12-year-old says she now wants to be known by her Muslim name, Misbah, and doesn't want to return to Britain.

How much say should a child have in choosing who to live with? Have you had to choose between parents, or been involved in a child custody case? What is the most important consideration when deciding where a child should live?


"Children under 16 year olds should have a SAY, but not DECIDE. The decision body should take into account reasoning from the child and make a judgement if the reasoning is his/her own or is it through others' (e.g.one parent which has greatest influence) or through the childs' pink coloured specticals.

I really feel bad for the kids of seperated parents.Kids should have easy access to both Mom and Dad.
