D.  You usually pay them, you don't always need them, and they are not just used in criminal cases.  Family court sees its fair share I'm sure.

There is an old saying that a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client.  IF you have a case, get an attorney.

When is the law right, so to speak ! Look whats been happening all over the US and other countries too on how the law is so corrupt and how it handles numerous cases.\n\nThe best thing to have is witnesses to start the case off in the right direction !

yes, they can. if they are in a different state the court may make you go to them. second ,,, evidence will be harder now for a person to prove. this is going to be a tough case and can go either way. if they seeked councel it may help their side (previously in the 12 yrs) also how old they are now may take a factor. if you are the victim don't worry the truth always comes out... there may be others just waiting for someone to stand up aswell. if you are the suspect... evidence lacking after 12 years is on your side

The attorney presents evidence based on whatever they're arguing. It could be someone's testimony, but it could be other types of evidence. This is presented to the "trier of fact" in the case, which is going to be either the jury or the judge, who determines the truthfulness of each side's allegations based the testimony and also on the jury instructions.

Usually I do, but if you have any doubts by all means go for a second opinion. I work for a doctor and we have seen patients that have actually gone for 3rd opinions because the first two didn't agree.

I highly doubt it. One of the reverands primary duties is to act as an authoritative witness when the couple signs the papers.  You can't be a witness for yourself.

The question is are they trained enough to do so?\n\nIn my opinion they have no more responsibility than any other adult to be watchful but be very careful as there are countless stories of (generally) well meaning people ruining lives by jumping to conclusions (Shetlands anyone!).\n\nA caretaker making a statement to the effect he believes there is a problem could:\n\n1) be wrong and cause massive harm\n2) be right or wrong (but with no evidence) and be sued into bankruptcy\n3) be right and be subject to retaliation.\n\nThis is not an issue of whether they are alert, it is whether they have a greater responsibility and exposure than the rest of us.\n\nIn answer to the specific question - it is down to the individual I don't believe you can generalise although what is the correct level of diligence?

um, there isn't one.  this would be a debatable point within the medical community, and typically "experts" are good at a certain part of there field.  If you are looking for an expert you usually ask a lot of doctors and look at papers they've published, oh and there credentials (where they got there degrees).  Most people don't "need" an expert unless they have a very serious illness.  \n\nhaha- like Grey's anatomy, eh?
