What Is an Expert Witness?

An expert witness is an individual who has special training in a specific area that could make their knowledge relevant or useful to the court in a legal case.

Expert witnesses must know their profession well, but he or she must also excel at communicating his or her opinion to a judge or jury. One without the other will likely not be helpful. The expert witness must do both well.

Some examples of expert witnesses commonly used in divorces include:

• A financial professional such as a forensic accountant, who can testify in court regarding the expenditure of funds during the marriage.
• A real estate appraiser or business valuation expert to testify in court the valuation of marital assets such apiece of property, and then negotiate over the findings of their expert witnesses.
• A physician who can testify about an individual's specific medical needs, often when requesting additional support for alimony or child support due to a medical condition.
