Action Guide #18 - Divorced Dad Weekly TeleSeminar - Sunday Feb. 10/08

The following is not legal advice

Our topic for this Sunday's call is “The Divorced Dad Roadmap - The Courthouse”. Tonight's call continues The Divorced Dad Roadmap training calls for 2008. The Divorced Dad Roadmap is a process in which you can begin your preparations and review your progress as you prepare for Family Court proceedings.

IF the first time you visit the Family Court is when your matter is being heard, you are positioning yourself for a HUGE loss and a MISSED opportunity to WIN. Preparation is the key to all success in life and this holds true for any time you must step inside Family Court for a Judge to render a decision that will affect the lives of your children.

Many divorced dads are completely oblivious to what is going on around them when they are in Family Court, because they have not taken the opportunity to learn such simple things as:

LEARN WHERE YOUR COURT IS

1.    What Family Court Jurisdiction do I go to?
2.    Where is it located and what hours does it sit?
3.    How do I get there and how long does it take?

LEARN WHO YOUR COURT STAFF ARE

1.    Who works at this Court, and who is good at their job?
3.    Who is in charge of what and why?
3.    Who is the Senior Judge in Charge? Who is their boss

LEARN THE LAYOUT OF THE COURT

1.    What facilities - Parking. copiers, faxes, washrooms?
2.    Where are the Courtrooms, Dockets, Counsel Slips?
3.    How are conferences and motions administered?

LEARN WHAT INFORMATION AND HELP IS AVAILABLE

1.    Where is the Literature Rack?
2.    Is there an Information Office and Officer?
3.    Is there Legal Aid and a Duty Counsel/Attorney?

LEARN ABOUT THE COURT CLERKS

1.    Who is the best Clerk to deal with?
2.    Phone numbers for Clerks & Judge’s Secretaries?
3.    Where do I get forms and swear & file documents?

LEARN ABOUT MEDIATION FACILITIES

1.    Can you speak with a mediator?
2.    What are the mediation policies?
3.    How do I set up mediation?

LEARN WHO WORKS WITH WHICH JUDGE

1.    What Clerk is assigned to each Judge?
2.    Who are the Court Reporters in this Courthouse?
3.    What Judges hear matters like mine?

A "fieldtrip" to Family Court can remedy this situation. And you can begin to better understand how knowing these things can improve your chances in Court. It is little known, except by insiders how the administration of Family Court can affect the outcomes in terms of Judges' orders at hearings…

The Divorced Dad Road Map: "The Courthouse" will teach you the skills you will need to successfully navigate through Family Court and its bureaucratic organization and administration.
