I guess at a high level, Armando, how is the best interests of the child principle applied in Italy?
12:05
The best interest of the child is a little, it depends on the court and it depends sometimes on the judge.
12:12
About the location, the best interest in our jurisprudence is to have both access to both seats.
12:22
So in case of international couple and sometimes when there is a request of relocation, the first answer that we have to reply is this kid has a good relation with both parents.
12:39
If this kid has... create a link, a positive link with both.
12:47
And if the reply is yes, the judge will authorize the relocation.
12:54
So I have cases when they After a long process, the kids have developed a very good relation with the father, so the mother was authorized to move in another country.
