Yes, but they do not HAVE to be present.

Well in my state (wisconsin) the law is that if the child is 12 and up they may go to the custody thing and actually have a say in what they want. They are considered old enough to know who they would be better off with.

Legal or not why on earth would you consider putting your children in that position???? Its a grown up problem, a grown up sistuation and it should never, ever be put on the shoulders of a child!

its not recommended, unless the judge asks for them there. You could bring the kids but they may be asked to step out, so bring a sitter too.

Most likely, but they shouldn't be there unless the court calls on them to be.

It depends on the judge. Most judges will not allow it.

if they are old enough to have a say so then yes they should be there.
