My ex h is taking me to court for residency of our child. It's a long and complicated situation.

My partner and I have been together for 4 years and have a child together.

Will my partner be able to come into the court room with me?

No they can't
They are not party to proceedings

They can come into court with you as a mckenzie friend, all you need to do is write to the court to let them know they are coming and fill out a form once you arrive on the day. My grandfather came into court with me, they won't be able to talk to the judge or the other party however they can speak to you if you need them to.
