Understanding Witnesses in Divorce and Paternity Cases
Hello, I am Dillan Savage of Wirth Law Office – Oklahoma City. Today we will be discussing who can testify during divorce and paternity proceedings. Many clients approach me with a list of individuals they wish to have testified, and this is quite common.
Witnesses can play a crucial role in these cases, provided they have first-hand knowledge of the events in question. This can occur during a temporary order hearing or even at the final trial. Clients need to understand that they can also be witnesses in such proceedings.
Understanding Your Role as a Witness
Some clients may not realize they have the right to testify. In Oklahoma, this is outlined under Title 43, Section 132, which details the parties that may testify. Remember, it is your case and your life; you have the right to share your experiences and observations.
Your attorney is there to facilitate this process. They will guide you through the necessary steps, asking pertinent questions to ensure that your testimony is effectively presented before the court and the judge. While your attorney will present evidence, you will likely be asked to testify as a crucial witness in your case.
