Who is allowed in a court hearing?

I know anyone can come to a trial, but how about a hearing? I know the petitioner and the respondent but can anyone else go in besides lawyers?

What is the nature if the hearing?
What agency is holding the hearing?
It might be easier to call the hearing officer and ask!!!!

ok, I called. I guess anyone can go in...but they can't say a thing..they can sit in the back and listen. They said it is open to the public.
It is for Family court and I am asking for sole custody along with relocation and visitation modification.
