S10 Ep32: What If My Ex Is Coaching My Child What to Say About Me?

#ChooseGoldman Attorney Akiva Goldman explains that Michigan courts are highly skilled at identifying coached child testimony by watching for rehearsed phrasing and unnatural body language. The court looks beyond simple honesty to find the true authenticity of a child's story to protect the integrity of the evidence. • Judges look for red flags like "big words" or complex sentences that match legal reports rather than a child's natural vocabulary. • Rehearsed testimony is often revealed through a child's specific inflection, movements, and lack of genuine feeling. • The court acts as an expert at judging what it hears and what it visualizes, as the root of the word "evidence" means "to see." • Attorneys address coaching by highlighting these scripted narratives during closing arguments to show the court the narrative is false. • Coaching that overrides a child's true feelings destroys the credibility of the evidence and should be addressed through legal counsel. 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text 📅 For a Complimentary Phone Case Evaluation: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17105687&appointmentType=18529428 Click here to watch the video: https://youtu.be/tRRpzFKxiOU For more information: https://akivagoldman.com/michigan-laws/child-custody-laws ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
