BEFORE COURT: Hire a Family Law Attorney

Preparing for courtBefore your court date, find a family law attorney that can help make your case its best. Family court matters can be very emotional and complex, so it is imperative that you hire an experienced attorney who knows what they’re doing.

AT YOUR TRIAL: Dress Professionally

You want to show the courtroom that you take this trial seriously, so dress appropriately. Stay away from shorts, flip flops and exercise clothes. Instead, dress conservatively and professionally. Be sure that your clothes fit well and are not too revealing. Men: wear a suit with a tie or a button-down shirt with a collar and long pants. Women: wear a nice conservative dress or business suit.

Arrive Early

Arrive at least 30 minutes early to your trial. If you are unsure where to go, arrive an hour early. Showing up on time lets the court know that you take this family law matter seriously. Showing up late could result in consequences.
