Note: From the ol' guy. I had such a great response from the post on "What NOT to Do in Court", and today, I came across another great post "Show Some Respect".
Some of the advice is similar.. AND heavens me, I certainly don't expect anyone to give their lawyer or the judge a big hug and kiss. So check it out.
After reading these articles, the National Family Advocacy Team wants to hear from parents that are or have been challenging the Child Protective Agency. We are a volunteer group who believe in Our Families, Our Child, Our Future. Learn more about this effort.
Keep Care and always be Positive,

What NOT to
Do in Court
8/12/2014
by
Van Oorschot Law Group, PC Contact
I
just left the Ventura County Courthouse where I sat and listened
to people plead their case to the family law judge.
-
Some made a pitch about why their child support should be
reduced, using arguments not supported by any legal or
factual basis.
-
Others had reasons why the judge should excuse their
non-appearance at a prior cour
t date, which resulted in
orders they did not like because they weren't there to
contest them.
-
Then there was a father who told a story how he is now the
custodial parent to his young child because the mother
threatened to kill the Child Protective Services social
worker.
Really-this stuff just cannot be made up.
Dealing with the judge and lawyers at family court
This article is about dealing with family court the lawyers and the
judge. Explaining what to expect going into family court. With some
helpful tips to get you through it.
You would not believe how many people will actually going in like this
isn’t nothing walking into family court with out a care in the world.
I don’t have a clue what people are thinking.when people walk in too the
court thinking that they are not going to have a huge effect in their
kids life and their own life. Do the right thing and before walking into
family court. Do research and ask people that have been through it some
question so you know what you are getting into.
I see this all the time and it kills me. I am literally laughing when
sitting in the lobby of family court. With how many people won’t even
wear clean jeans or stop looking like a hoe. This is the place where
they are going to tell you when and where you are going to see you kids.
I seen people not even comb their hair before going into this place.
You are really showing that you care for your kids when you are wearing
stained up jeans and a tee shirt with a beer can on it. I mean do these
people think that the judge don’t have eyes. Or maybe the judge likes
having parents going into his court disrespecting him with their boobs
hanging out or wearing a hat in his court room. I see it all the time
Wondering how can people not even care that their walking into a
courtroom where their life is a bout to change.
Then decide to wear regular clothes there. Take the time and dress up.
Get some dress pants, dress shirt and a tie. For you ladies wear a nice
dress or dress outfit. This is your kids we are talking about don’t you
think you can handling dressing up one time just to make sure that you
are going to get the right first impression for your kids sake.
This totally changes how the judge takes your statement seriously. You give him respect and he will show you some in return.
Don’t Swear
The judge and lawyers now control how you future ends up with your
kids. The least thing you can do to make sure you don’t get off to bad
start. Don’t swear in the court room too the judge or the lawyers. A
lawyer will actually fight hard for a person that they can respect a
little bit. So don’t be bad mouthing the lawyer and swearing at him this
will just get you know where quick.
How do you suppose to win a custody battle if your lawyer won’t fight
for you and what you believe in. The lawyer will start just wanting to
get the case done and over and move on to the next. I will tell you this
if you want to end up in a lot of trouble quickly swearing at a judge
will do it for you. You are immediately put on his bad side. He is just
waiting for you to mess up again and throw you out of his court room. I
mean a judge treats his court room as his own house don’t be
disrespecting his house or you going to feel the judges wrath and trust
me it is not good thing.
The best way to handle been in a court room is by not speaking until you
are told too or asked. Always answer with sir or ma’am. I have seen a
lot people walk into family court thinking that they are top dog and the
own the place. They always end up crying in the end.
The world today
These seem like the smallest things that every one should knows. But
serious when I walk into family court I see this stuff all the time.
Happen all over the place. Like people will actually show up drunk or
high to family court. Are you crazy !!!!
Then they all cry when the judge or lawyer finds out about it. These are
people that do this for a living people. They see people drunk or high
all the time. They handle regular court all the time too where they are
dealing with these people non stop.
They can sense when some one is drunk and high that is why they are in
the position that they are in the government So why even would you try.
Once You Are there
One of the worst things people do is to lie to the judge or lawyers.
This is funny because judges and lawyers are experts on telling when
people are lying to them. They pick up on it instantly just be the way
you talk or act. Then they will play along with it for a bit and set you
up for a big downfall.
They know it is coming and in the background of everything going on they
have it all figured it out. These people deal with liars everyday. Do
you really think you are going to tell them one they haven’t heard or
figured out before. The bad thing about it for you is that once they
catch you in a lie they don’t believe anything you say any more.
You might as well kiss your case goodbye
All I am saying
All I am saying is these people control your kids and your future. Do
the right thing and treat them with respect so you have chance of
getting your case heard right. Don’t argue or fight with them this is
only going to lead your kids and yourself into pain. The thing about any
lawyer or judge at the end of everyday they go home to their families
not caring about what happen that day. It is a job to them and jobs
don’t effect their home life. So if you think that they are going to
lose any sleep by throwing your case out they don’t.
The only people that get hurt or have their life turn to dirt after family court is the family. No one else really cares.
So don’t make the people that have control over your kids and your life
mad . That is just crazy and trust me it doesn’t work. Treat them with
respect and they will show you some in return.
