(b) The general public or any person may be excluded from a courtroom only if the judge presiding in the courtroom determines, on a case-by-case basis based upon supporting evidence, that such exclusion is warranted in that case. In exercising this inherent and statutory discretion, the judge may consider, among other factors, whether:

1. (1) the person is causing or is likely to cause a disruption in the proceedings;
2. (2) the presence of the person is objected to by one of the parties, including the attorney for the child, for a compelling reason;
3. (3) the orderly and sound administration of justice, including the nature of the proceeding, the privacy interests of individuals before the court, and the need for protection of the litigants, in particular, children, from harm, requires that some or all observers be excluded from the courtroom;

4. (4) less restrictive alternatives to exclusion are unavailable or inappropriate to the circumstances of the particular case.

   Whenever the judge exercises discretion to exclude any person or the general public from a proceeding or part of a proceeding in Family Court, the judge shall make findings prior to ordering exclusion.
