British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Beatty v. Schatz, 2009 BCSC 707 (CanLII):

There can be little doubt that the views of children can be very important in decisions that affect their best interests. Children should normally “have a voice” in these important decisions that can have such a significant impact on their lives: L.E.G v. A.G., 2002 BCSC 1455.
