Witnesses are excluded from the courtroom until it is their time to testify. This prevents their testimony from being tainted or influenced by hearing any other witness's testimony. Once they have testified, and if they are not subject to being "recalled" for further testimony, they may sit in court and observe the remainder of the trial.

How do you stop a motion for a 12 year old's testimony in a custody hearing?

To stop a motion for a 12-year-old's testimony in a custody hearing, you would typically need to file a motion with the court and present legal arguments supporting why the child's testimony should not be allowed. This could be based on factors such as the child's age or maturity level, potential harm from testifying, or alternative means of gathering the child's input through a guardian ad litem or custody evaluation. Consulting with a family law attorney would be advisable to navigate this process effectively.
