Children should rarely testify in court, as it can be a difficult and traumatic experience for them. A good lawyer may find ways to introduce probative evidence that speaks to the children’s best interest without subjecting the child to testifying. In some cases, a court or the parties may request that a Guardian Ad Litem be appointed to represent the child’s best interest. In other cases, a custody evaluation can provide a means by which a child’s voice may be heard without testifying.
