When parties represent themselves in family court and wish to litigate the case, there are no winners; there are only degrees of losing. When parties are represented in family court and wish to litigate, the only winners are the lawyers. The take away from this is that whether you are represented or not, you have to do everything you can to settle your case outside of court because there is nothing worse than having someone in a black robe who knows nothing about your life or your children making decisions that impact your life in such a profound way. 9 times out of 10, a judge’s decision is going to make both parties upset because the decision is not exactly what either party wanted. In closing, come to the table, put ink to paper and settle your case outside of court because the alternative is extreme heartache and financial stress.
