Anytime someone asks a question you don't understand tell the Judge that you don't understand the question.  If you don't know the answer to a question, it's OK to say that.  Sometimes you may not remember something that you are asked about and its OK to say that you don't remember.

THE FAMILY COURT DIVISION

The Judge/Commissioner must decide who is telling the truth by listening to everyone. A witness is very, very important to help the Judge decide. What you have to say is important.

THE JUVENILE OFFICER

The Attorney for the Juvenile Officer:

• will usually be the first attorney who asks questions of the child witness so that the Judge understands what happened to the child.
• will want the child to tell the truth about what happened.

ATTORNEY FOR OTHER RELATIVES may also ask questions.
