Due Process Hearing

[shadowldy]

I have filed for a due process hearing on behalf of my disabled son as I am in serious disagreement with his IEP. I will most likely be presenting the case myself and need a few things clarified. (1)Do memo's or psychiatric reports/documents have to be included in discovery? (2)Can I be leading in my questioning in the initial examination of witness's or only in re-examination? (3) I have a teen girl who's testimony would be very helpful but she is afraid to testify in court. She stated she would give a written statement and have it notorized. Would that be acceptable and be allowed to be admitted, or would it be considered heresay?
I am from WI
Thank You,
Shadowldy

1) An Affidavit is legal; You should have them post at the top, before her testimony," I declare under penalty of perjury, that the following is true, based on my own, personal knowledge:" & have it notorized.

2) I'm not sure about the order in which you must question the witnesses.

3) Discovery information usually consist of everything you plan on presenting to the court. It allows the other party to defend against a claim/charge. You could also file for discovery info to see the case from the other side.

You should consult an attorney; This is only my interpretation of the law, not legal advice.
