By putting a child in any position to choose which parent they love more and prefer to live with, it will make the child go through a horrifying experience that can leave them traumatized forever. If a child does speak out about their preferences, a parent might even get offended, mad or disappointed with their child. In a scholarly journal called Payoffs and Pitfalls of Listening to Children by Richard Warshak, it talks about how the best way to inform children of what is going on is by having them talk to a therapist or even a doctor to reveal any thoughts and feelings
