Can a family member who is a minor be a witness in a physical dispute and testify in court against
one of the party's?



Legal Topic Area: Family Law in AZ

There are no Arizona laws that prohibit minors from testifying in court about what they have witnessed. The witnesses credibility (their truthfulness) will be judged by the finder of fact (either the judge hearing the case or a jury).
