civil-procedure
If represented by lawyer at divorce trial can I myself examine expert witness?
<p>The witness for the opposing party performed the valuation of business.  I happen to be in the same profession (I have not introduced my own valuation because of the potential conflict of interest) and feel qualified to ask the "technical" questions re. the expert's methodology, assumption etc.  I could spend time educating my attorney as to what questions to ask but it would have taken time (which is of the essence) and i believe I am still more competent to ask the immediate follow-up questions depending on the answers given.
Thanks for advice

<p>At least in the United States, when you are represented by a lawyer in a court case you may not examine witnesses yourself, even if you are more qualified to do so. This is a rule that judges will usually enforce strictly, even if no one objects to it.</p>
