While there's probably some legal protection for a witness (depending on your state law), this isn't an issue that calls out for something like what happened to be brought out in the open in a divorce case. If you witnessed him harming his child and children are at the heart of the matter, then maybe you do it then. Anyway, most people would blow off any non-physical harassment of an official. Your testimony would mean absolutely nothing.

Don't be so sure. Sometimes character witnesses carry quite a bit of weight in deciding who gets the kids and how much the nice judge decides to award the "winning" spouse attorney fees because the judge like their case better. Trust me...my character witnesses made me look too good and I had to pay the equivalent of about 25 game fees in my ex's attorney fees.
