Q. re Court Assistance
"dani" wrote in message
news Does anyone have any case cites or statutes that allows one to assis a father during trial. This is in California, but any info even from another state would be welcome. Thanks, ~ Dani Try looking up something like a MacKenzie Friend (I think that is it). I used one in my custody trial (he was a friend of mine, and his purpose was there to act as a dispassionate observer to keep me on track and to write down questions that I might forget to use in a cross (when my ex was on the stand). This was a common law jurisdiction (i.e. not the US) but you might be able to come across sites that way. |

I found a lot of references to the use of a "McKenzie friend" in the U.K., AU, and NZ but nothing in the U.S. Good enough, we'll do it and use the McKenzie U.K. case as precedent. I'll let you know how it went. ~ Dani |
