Tip #2 - Before you go to Family Court . . . avoid emotional reasoning. The emotional trauma that often follows separation can distort how you view the world. For some, their perceptions are skewed only temporarily. For others, it is long lasting. Those extreme emotions can cause us to jump to conclusions, take things too personally, fill in 'the facts' that are not there, or project our own behaviours onto others. The risk of such over reactions in the courtroom is that they turn into accusations about 'lying'. What is really going on is not an intention to lie, but a highly emotional response to a situation. Avoid these pitfalls by checking out your perceptions with someone you trust, before you go to court.
