This can get a little tricky as to what is meant by "when the court considers the opinion of children". The court can, if it chooses, give greater weight to the opinion of children 14 years of age or older, but the court is never under any obligation to craft a child custody order based upon the expressed desires or opinions of the child of any age. See Utah Code Section 30-3-10(1)(e).
