Hello. My one and only(hopefully) divorce court date is in a couple of weeks. What type of attire should I come to court in? I was thinking 3 piece suit. Would that be too much and would that be frown upon on the judge? Thank you

All my hearings have been in my dress uniform. But from what I've seen there is little class at any of the courts I've been to.

Personally would have dress pants, a button-down, and a tie minimum.

A 3 piece suit implies a vest which to me is overkill. If you have agreed on everything then it seems like this is a formality. Seems a blazer, slacks and dress shoes would be more than sufficient. Good luck OP.

Ok dude listen

In some cases a pair of clean jeans and nice top and jacket is enough.

This isn't it, you're trying to present yourself to the court as somebody who at least as far as clothing and getting dressed goes you have your shit together.

Wear a suit, 3-piece, you can drop the tie, make sure it's well fitting and appropriate for the venue or you'll look like a clown and be judged more harshly.

So I always just wore khakis nice dress shoes and a collared long sleeved shirt that was ironed.

Presentable, clean, look like I was upstanding and like I cared.

My own thinking….you got 3 piece suit money…..then they’ll order you to pay that to her.

You didnt explain what type of court date? Is this a general hearing? Is it a motion? Are you in trial?

Damn you guys are all fancy. I wore cargo pants and my finest motorcycle hoodie lol.

Congrats brother, almost out.

I follow the rule, you can always dress up, never dress down.

Suit will be my choice when the day comes.

Wear the best you have (up to but not including tuxedo).

I wore a tie.

Dark suit, no vest, red tie, polished shoes.

My divorce court date; I wore chinos and a dress shirt with a tie. I figured it didn’t matter what I wore; I was going to get sodomized anyway.

Crushed_95 · 2022-04-13T13:13:29+00:00

Alright. Sounds good. Thank you.

Go as Count Duckula.

Go in dressed like Hasselhoff! If you have a female judge she’s gonna want to see you in her chambers after she signs the decree. You go without hesitation cause it’s gonna get freaky when she lifts that robe up.

Don't look too flashy. They might order my child support. A tie isn't even necessary. Slacks and a white button up shirt. Be well groomed.
