Although many divorces (and all custody cases) involve children, you can’t bring children to court. Most courthouses do not have onsite childcare and it is crucial to shield your children from the legal process. Your children should be in childcare or school at the time of your hearing. The only exception to this is when a judge specifically requests to speak with a child in his or her chambers. In that instance, the child will be allowed to speak with the judge after arrangements are made with the court.
