If what you say is true, then no. YOu might know that when children get to be that old, you need to let them testify. I suggest you get permission from the court for that to happen at this custody hearing. The form is on the web page for the family court in the county which you are in . Just go to the Clerk of Court page, click on the Family Court and the page should come up with instructions as well.

Good Luck . The Form is Petition to allow for Child's Testimony.
