Witness

A witness is a person who provides testimony or evidence in a legal case. In family law, a witness may be called to testify about relevant facts or events that can help the court make decisions regarding issues like child custody, support, or divorce matters.

Witnesses can include people who have firsthand knowledge of the situation, such as family members, friends, or professionals who have interacted with the parties involved. In some cases, expert witnesses, such as psychologists or financial analysts, may be called to provide specialized insight.

Witnesses are typically asked to give testimony in court under oath, and their statements can be used to support one party’s claims or defenses. The credibility and reliability of a witness’s testimony are important factors that the court considers when making its ruling.
