Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The text author believes that having children testify in divorce court about their preferences can be a good thing in some cases, but it also has serious potential downsides. These downsides include putting pressure on the child, potentially damaging their relationship with one of their parents, and the risk of the child feeling responsible for the court's decision. Therefore, the author does not believe it is always a good thing and does not mention it being always a bad thing. The text does not indicate how common or uncommon this practice is becoming today, so D is not a correct answer.
