You can ask the judge to speak with your daughter and state the reasons why, it will be up to the judge to decide whether or not to speak with them.

It is traumatic for the child to go through this, they can speak to the child in chambers, however it still brings the child into the conflict. You need to weigh very carefully the impact on your child versus the benefit this will bring to the court. The court may look on you unfavorably if they believe your child’s testimony was not necessary.

Please see “Daughter as witness part II” and “Daughter as witness part II” and someone PLEASE tell me how to get these seen and answered by an attorney. I’m lost!
