Описание: This video examines a rarely questioned assumption in custody cases: that courts should rely exclusively on guardians ad litem and custody evaluators to learn what children know, experience, and want—rather than hearing directly from the children themselves. It asks a focused legal question: why do courts accept unsworn, unrecorded summaries from intermediaries while rejecting on-the-record inquiry with the very witnesses closest to the facts? In every other civil case, courts demand preserved testimony and evidentiary transparency. Yet in custody cases, critical information is often filtered through professionals without a reviewable record. This discussion explores why structured, recorded inquiry—handled in child-appropriate ways—is essential to fair, reliable, and legally defensible custody determinations, and why good intentions alone are not a substitute for evidence.
