Family court isn’t where you tell your story, it’s where you get graded...
Most dads walk in thinking it’s about truth and fairness...it’s not. It runs on precedent, procedure, and whatever you can prove. Your lawyer isn’t your friend or therapist...they’re a contractor. Hand them exactly what they need, nothing more. Every minute you spend venting is a dollar gone. I learned the hard way. I led with feelings, burned half a meeting, and lost ground. Once I ran my case like a business...tight evidence, clear objectives...my lawyer stopped nodding and started winning.
In court, frame isn’t puffing your chest, it’s refusing to take the bait. Judges don’t remember who provoked you. But they remember who lost control.
Your lawyer’s not your buddy. They’re a hired gun. Aim them.
Full breakdown’s Here.Read it before your next hearing...
