Title 1 - General Provisions
75-J - Taking Testimony in Another State.

§ 75-j. Taking testimony in another state. 1. In addition to other
procedures available to a party, a party to a child custody proceeding
may offer testimony of witnesses who are located in another state,
including testimony of the parties and the child, by deposition or other
means allowable in this state for testimony taken in another state. The
court on its own motion may order that the testimony of a person be
taken in another state and may prescribe the manner in which and the
terms upon which the testimony is taken.

2. A court of this state may permit an individual residing in another
state to be deposed or to testify by telephone, audiovisual means, or
other electronic means before a designated court or at another location
in that state. A court of this state shall cooperate with courts of
other states in designating an appropriate location for the deposition
or testimony and the procedures to be followed by the persons taking
such deposition or testimony. Any such testimony or deposition shall be
recorded and preserved for transcription.

3. Documentary evidence transmitted from another state to a court of
this state by technological means that do not produce an original
writing may not be excluded from evidence on an objection based on the
means of transmission.
