As residency (not custody anymore) has not yet been decided, the Court will decide if the parents cannot work it out between them. To this end, Cafcass will become involved and will interview both parents and the child (and potentially other agencies).
The child's views WILL be taken into account by the Court, however, they must also have regard to the "best interests" of the child. The more mature the child and the greater her understanding, the more the Court will take those views into account.
