The New Jersey divorce judge did not have to interview the 3 children, aged 11, 10 and 6, in this contested child custody case. This was because of the considerable evidence pertaining to the parenting capabilities of each parent and the best interests of the children, the review of the report and testimony of the father's custody expert – which actually favored the mother – and the testimony of both parties, the paternal grandmother and a friend of the father. Thus, it was appropriate to award the mother primary residential custody. Hopkins v. Hopkins, New Jersey App. Div., June 7, 2007
