Q: Am I able to cross examine the petitioner their Witness and the mother of the child? During a motion for visitation?
I have a protective order against the mother and the petitioner. My court date is this Wednesday and I need to know if I am ready for this hearing. It's my motion for visitation that I believe that I've been alienized by the mother and the grandmother. For my child.
A: Parties have a right to cross-examine witnesses if they are called to testify. You may want to seek an attorney's assistance as a lawyer will know the appropriate ways to conduct cross-examination and help defend your case.
