Question

In family court can a 5 yearold be interviewed without a parent being present



Answer

Rarely.



Answer

The question is who is doing the interviewing? If the individual is a trained therapist the court has designated for that purpose, then the interview may be appropriate. Same response if the interviewer is minor' s counsel assigned the court ordered duty to represent the child.
