Courtroom Conduct
Here are some tips on how to conduct yourself in the courtroom.
-
Don't get flustered. Stay calm, no matter what your spouse claims, or no matter what the other lawyer says to you.
-
Don't volunteer information. If you are asked questions, answer them as simply as possible. Things
you say could be twisted around in a way that hurts you.
-
Be respectful to the judge. Address the judge as "your honor," wait for the judge to finish speaking, and
speak calmly and respectfully. Use clean language.
-
Don't interrupt anyone. If your spouse or his or her lawyer is lying, you or your lawyer will have an opportunity to speak. Be
patient.
-
Don't make faces. The judge will expect that you might disagree with what your spouse is saying. He or she will
give you a chance to respond. You do not have to make faces to convey that you disagree.
