Does the 6th amendment protect someone in a civil case where the ';witnesses'; want to remain anonymous?

Custody is at stake, the ex has two ';anonymous'; witnesses that say I mistreated my kids, the child service investigator put them in a report.


I've got lots of witnesses over years to say I haven't. Aren't I allowed to cross examine at trial??Does the 6th amendment protect someone in a civil case where the ';witnesses'; want to remain anonymous?
Yes, you are allowed to cross examine them unless the judge makes the (very unlikely) decision to protect their identity (are they children?) Either way, however, he would still have to make them available, somehow, for cross examination of some sort. Don't worry, just get good legal counsel, and do your research. FYI--you will know who the witnesses are before court, bc they will be on a list provided during discovery, and your attorney can depose them to prepare your case.





Relax. The truth will come out.Does the 6th amendment protect someone in a civil case where the ';witnesses'; want to remain anonymous?
You know, your attorney might be best qualified to answer that.





But you aren't being charged with a crime, right? You are in Family Court trying to establish custody. Who knows what the rules of evidence are? You need an attorney.





Also, if the witnesses who are anonymous saw something specific that was abusive, all those other witnesses who didn't are irrelevent. Ted Bundy probably had one or two people with nothing bad to say about him.





I think you're missing a lot of legal points here, and you'd better get an attorney.
If you are not allowed then you attorney sucks and you need to hire another attorney.
