If you require the assistance of an expert at your child custody or equitable distribution hearing, your attorney will want to give him or her some advice for effective testimony. Although a lawyer should never tell a witness exactly what to say, it helps to provide pointers on how to share the most important information with the court:
(1) Listen carefully and think before you answer;
(2) Answer one question at a time;
(3) If important, respond (politely) if cut off or interrupted; and
(4) Don’t guess (at important matters).
