The research, which has been rated as outstanding cum laude, notes that, in the abstract, you can not say that one model is better than another, as it depends on the particular circumstances of each case and the relationships with the parents after separation.
The dissertation makes a case for convenience when listening to the child, their age, is able to have an opinion in that regard, "since the right to a hearing is set to the most significant expression of interest."
Roda Roda laments that "in recent years has been limited this right by the courts and by the legislature, without a logical reason for this change."
The new doctor adds that this right should be regulated to prevent bias, and should be encouraged in all areas where the child develops, not to be confused with interest your opinion. "
