Can a mother deny her child the right to testify in her dads favor for custody?
Unless the judge ask for it or the child lives in a state where he/she is old enough for a judge to listen to, the child will not be heard. It's the parents or court who decides custody and the child can not choose. If the child will be heard he/she has the right to say whatever they want.ClarificationCourts rarely require a child to testify in a custody matter and if they do, the judge is more likely to speak with the child privately rather than have them "testify" in court. The child cannot be "called as a witness" for one party. If the judge wants to speak with the child the parent cannot refuse. In most cases the judge will order an evaluation by one or more court appointed professionals (psychologist, pediatrician, social worker, attorney, etc.) who will then submit a report of their findings and recommendations to the judge to assist her/him in rendering a decision. The judge will then, in some cases, interview the child.

No age definedThere is no legally mandated minimum age. The general guidelines a judge uses to determine if a child should be allowed to testify are: the ability of the child to understand what truth is and the importance of the telling the truth, and if the child is able to recall and relate events or thoughts clearly and specifically to the issue at hand.A child will not be allowed to testify against a parent when it is an issue of custody or other such domestic matters. If a child has witnessed domestic violence or been the victim of abuse it is done through video tape testimony or in a closed courtroom.

If the courtsubpoenaed them, then yes they do. They must have information that is strong enough to bring a minor into a court room to testify. Sometimes depending on the case, instead of the minor going on the stand in front of everyone the DA, the prosecutor and the judge will go into a different room with the child and ask them questions so the child does not feel uncomfortable.
