Q: Can i request my hearing for child visitation to be held in private?
I live in a small town and i feel that it will be detrimental to my childs wellbeing if all of the facts of his child custody/visitation hearing are heard in open court
A:
Without more details about your case it is difficult to answer. Your county may have rules that allow it, and things may vary greatly based on the Judge assigned.
It is best to consult an attorney who can help you maneuver through your case in a way that will keep your child’s best interest a priority.

A: I agree with my colleague, we would need to know more facts and whether or not it is allowed in your county. You should consult with an attorney who can review the facts of the case in detail and provide you with guidance. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558
A: Court proceedings are open to the public. Unless the case is pending in juvenile court, the courtroom will be open to the public.
