that says a whole lot without saying much at all what the kids think of their parents and which ones they trust more. someone got some damage control to do to make up for what ever causes the kids not to want to go with them

With them being that old, can’t they decide where they live? I’ve always heard children over a certain age get the option as to which parent they want to live with?
