Best Answer

The basics of a satisfactory testimony begin with telling the truth. This is of utmost importance as you are normally under oath. You also need to answer any questions as clearly and as directly as you can, addressing everyone in a polite fashion.

Does a judge consider written testimony in a restraining order hearing?

Written testimony is generally not considered in a restraining order hearing unless the testimony was given under oath at a formal court proceeding, and then it is considered only if the party giving the written testimony is unavailable to testify directly. Unavailability exists if the party giving the prior sworn testimony has died, moved outside of the state, or has otherwise somehow lost the capacity to testify in person. Unavailability usually does not exist if "you can't miss work" to testify or "you're on vacation for 3 months," but in the context of a restraining order hearing some forbearance may be authorized under state law.
