Am I allowed to cross-examine a defendant and witnesses when going pro-se in a civil protection order hearing?

Three lying witnesses and a lying defendant (all lying under oath) caused me to lose my civil domestic-violence-protection order hearing on Feb. 5, 2009. I am preparing to re-open my case with new evidence refuting the statements of the defendant. Am I allowed to cross-examine a defendant and witnesses during their testimony in a civil protection-order hearing while going pro-se?

You have a right to cross examine witnesses, BUT if the judge is any type of judge at all he will stop you every single time you cross the line. You can try to call the defendant to the stand, but if their lawyer is any good he or she will argue effectively against you being able to question them, and if you do get them up there they will object just about every 5 seconds if the questioning gets off point.

For what it's worth, if you have evidence, ie witnesses, you should bring them and a transcript of the previous hearing, that's how you present the case, not putting people on the stand and calling them a liar. Won't work.
