That's a good question. The answer is yes. While there is a privilege not to testify against your spouse in California, this does not extend to the parent child relationship.

I agree with Mr. Roach and Mr. Green. But there could be other reasons why you shouldn't have to testify. You may want to discuss your situation in more detail with a lawyer.
