Hearsay in Child Custody Cases (VIDEO)
Think “he said, she said” cases are hard? Imagine if it’s “the child said” or “this other guy said” or, as is the case in a lot of DHR cases, “this anonymous caller said.” Sounds like a mess, doesn’t it?
That’s why we’re digging into the vault in this, the week of Foxtrot’s 5th birthday, and checking out a short video shot at our original office in the Long Flanagan building in southtown Guntersville.
(Cautionary note…getting into hearsay in #ChildCustody cases often means getting into statements of children, and the cost/benefit analysis of a child testifying is something you need to really think about and discuss with your #ChildCustody lawyer who understands your family’s unique situation.)
