Yes, an adult child can be compelled to testify in a dissolution proceeding on relavant issues. The division of property is an issue to be decided by the court, so an adult child may testify. Good Luck, Pat McCrary

In a general sense, courts do not like to have minor children testify in their parents divorce.

For a specific opinion regarding your individual circumstances, I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!
