Witness Response Guidance

Summary

If you are a witness in a custody case and are being questioned by someone you testified against, you are not obligated to discuss the case outside of court. Maintain confidentiality and avoid sharing private information. If you feel threatened or unsure about legal implications, consult with an attorney. In situations where your safety is a concern, prioritize it and consider legal advice. If you need to respond to questions about a living memorial, keep your response brief and factual, such as explaining it was for support during an illness.
