Court tomorrow

Stay calm, act professional at all times. Do not react to anything your STBXW says. If you have a lawyer, let them do the talking unless a question is specifically directed at you. It's just another step in the process, don't freak out about it.

If it isn’t a trial, really what you should expect is a lot of sitting and then more sitting. And then your lawyer going to talk to the court lawyer and the wife’s lawyer in another room. Then more sitting. Then called in and things will happen very fast. In my experience, the only hard part is getting dressed, and being able to breathe through it all. The rest happens TO you. Anything you could have done to change it up to this point, you’ve already done. Nothing you are going to be asked to do in the moment will change anything. It’s already in your motions or depends on what your lawyer will say, not you.

Godspeed. What will really suck is if you get to the point where court is routine, and you know you should go two floors down for the “good bathroom” and the bailiff nods at you in recognition.

Let the attorney do all the talking. Don’t try to appeal for consideration or prove your stbx is a dirt bag. Good luck, mate.

Get sleep. As much as possible. We're all better people when rested.

I’ll be praying for your brother! I know exactly how you feel. it’s a horrible feeling. But our God is good and he will be with you. Sometimes we don’t see the light through the darkness, but if we trust in Jesus (he can give you the peace that passes all understanding)…this was the only thing that got me through my horrible divorce. I truly believe if I could not have made it any other way.

Like why would I have peace in that very moment, no matter the outcome?

As a divorce and family law attorney, my top advice is.... Listen to your attorney. And don't say anything at all unless a question is specifically asked to you. Otherwise you sit there, take notes, write down anything important that absolutely positively has to be said right then and there and show it to your lawyer.
