How NOT to Prepare for Your Child Custody Trial



If you're getting ready for a child custody trial one of the first things you have to do is read the minutes where your court sets the trial. Make sure you are aware of all of the judges requirements going into that trial.

When you're getting ready for your trials you cannot ignore the court orders. You have to read all of the minutes in your case especially the minutes where the judge set your trial. Chances are in those minutes the judge is going to give you very important information about what the judge wants to see happen prior to trial.

This doesn’t just apply to final hearings, it applies to any evidentiary hearing, a temporary hearing, an emergency hearing or an order protection hearing.

Some things the judge might include in these court orders:

-Deadlines for filing pretrial statements
-What to include in pretrial statements
-Deadlines for submitting exhibits
-Deadlines for disclosure & discovery
-Deadlines for disclosing witness
-What will happen if you default
