There are no child care services provided by the court or the Prosecuting Attorney's Office. After talking with the deputy prosecuting attorney handling the case, he or she will direct you to proceed to a particular area of the courthouse. In virtually all cases where you will be a witness, you will be instructed to wait outside the courtroom until it is time for you take the witness stand. Once having given your testimony, you will be requested to leave the courtroom. You may be excused after only a few minutes, or you might be needed for more than a day.
Most witnesses remain on the witness stand less than an hour.
Ordinarily, you will only need to be in court during the time you need to testify. You do not need to be there during the entire trial. You may choose to remain at the courthouse during the trial but you will not be allowed to hear the other witnesses testify.
