From my reading of the caselaw on this - a McKenzie friend can ASSIST the pro se litigant in a family law case, but they may NOT also be called as a witnesss.
See below link for further information:
their should be around 20 people because that is your family and your friends.
The guideline for expert witness testimony at the Court is 'Testifying in Court: Guidelines and Maxims for the Expert Witness'. Stanley L. Brodsky is the author of this book.
Anyone can be called to court to be a witness, including a resigned cop.
Once you are subpoenaed you can not get out of it.
It can be relatives or friend of the family if they are found fit by the court or a foster family if there are no relatives.
The court decides on whether a witness is qualified as an "expert witness" or not.
On witness's statement to investigators - no. On the usability and admissability of them in court - yes.
The court can issue a Supoena which orders a witness to appear ; see related link below .
According to the police, an independent witness is someone who is not led by that of a friend or someone who can be influenced by you. For example, if you were verbally assaulted by another and you had 10 friends at your side who witnessed this, their statement cannot be used in a court of law or as evidence. So unjust I know, believe me.... But if you want an independent witness, try someone you don't know.
Witness
A person who testifies against you is often called a "perjurer" or "liar." (wink)AnswerThe opposing party's witnesses are generally called to testify against you. If you are being tried criminally, they are often called "State's witnesses."
