  1. 6 Ways to Best Prepare for a Child Custody Hearing

  2. The first child-custody hearing you go to can be frightening for parents unaware of the process. However, by planning a little, you’ll have a better chance of presenting a convincing argument and winning custody of your child. These six tips to prepare for the custody hearing regarding your children.

  3. Become Familiar With Florida State Child Custody Laws Child custody laws are different in each state, so your first task is to understand the laws in your particular geographical area. Have your attorney help you with the tedious job of reading the law closely, so you’ll know what you’re up against before you enter a courtroom.

  4. Know What Documents to Bring to Court Your lawyer may suggest bringing an annotated visitation schedule, a detailed phone log, proof of child-support payments, and other relevant notes.

  5. Understand Sole Custody Requirements When a parent requests sole custody, that’s when a better parent standard becomes important. This means you must convince the judge that you are better than your child’s other parent, which is no easy task. Ask your lawyer what the Florida courts want to see and about the best ways to prove yourself to be the better caregiver for your kids.

  6. Study Proper Courtroom Etiquette To have any hope of winning child custody, you must act appropriately in the courtroom. Your lawyer should be able to discuss courtroom etiquette with you so you’ll better understand what’s expected of you. They’ll also know what to look out for or avoid, such as accusatory statements or emotional outbursts.

  7. Dress Appropriately To be awarded custody, you must make a positive first impression on the judge. Many things are taken into consideration, including how you’re dressed. Before the judge even knows your child’s name, your appearance will inform his opinion of you. 7
