Who can serve as witnesses in a matrimonial case?
Parents and stepparents of both parties always are contacted as witnesses. In addition, the Tribunal asks that four more witnesses be proposed, that is, people who have known at least one of the parties prior to the wedding. In addition, even though an “Expert” did not know either party prior to the wedding, if one or both has consulted with a licensed professional counselor, a social worker, a psychologist, a health care provider, an attorney, a clergy, with an appropriate release, that person also can be used as a witness. (Parents and stepparents should be notified they will be contacted by the Tribunal.
