Can I be in the courtroom when my child testifies?
It depends; if you are going to be called as a witness, you may not be permitted to be in the courtroom when your child testifies because witnesses are not allowed to hear testimony of other witnesses. If you will not be called as a witness, it is best to talk to your child how he/she feels about you being in the courtroom. Some children want their parents to be there, others may be more comfortable if their parents wait outside.
