Preparing for your first court hearing
(applicable to England & Wales)

No idea why only one parent gets legal aid so not fair

[MelbourneTruths]

in my experience the words civil and justice are alien concepts in the family court, unscrupulous solicitors and barristers rule in this arena.

Nice vid btw.

And what should I do if I'm a single mom with no friends and no one that can look after my daughters?

[paulgibbons]

Represent yourself 100%. Please do.
They have kidnapped your kids. If you pay the ransom they will keep on doing it to others.
But the risks are the worst.

Rule number one never use a solicitor in family or divorce court it will make no difference at all to your case the judge wont see you any differently for having a solicitor it will just leave you poorer. A friend of mine used a forensic accountant for A divorce she spent £50 K on finding out her ex had three houses all in his name his business was in his brothers name she couldn't touch any of it and now she has a bill of £50K.

Do not go! When they serve a summons (summoning you is a fancy word for an invitation) send it back and ask to view the evidence provided with the petition. Ask if petition was signed under threat of perjury? Ask if your right to a jury trial is assured? Ask what jurisdiction is the court moving under? Do not submit your financial information or SS# (very important, cause they can freeze your bank account to force you into their lair) cause you have a right to property and papers secured under 4th amendment. If you do not receive answers you do not go!! They will threaten you, but they cannot do anything without your volunteering info and walking into their web of deceit.

what a shame that in ordinary family court cases they r making their means .yes money in United kingdom.

[spaceforgrace]

Find somebody wearing a suit?? Probably a lawyer! Great script and she never cracks a laugh.

[tomwright]

Do you think that the fact that family court cases are closed to the public has a damaging effect upon litigants in person? If i were to represent myself, the first think I would do is attend and watch similar preceedings (after reading an appropriate book on the topic).


Do you think there is sufficient scrutiny of the courts? Would reporting restrictions be sufficient to protect the interests of those invovled?

[jackpaterson]

I don't know which court in which address, we have different superior or Ontario courts everywhere for family matter

[BareFanni]

“You may want to bring a snack or a banana with you”

If your a man and you can't afford a solicitor, then don't worry about bringing the change, you wont be needing it, your be in there for 10 mins, no one will listen to you, your be shafted, your lose your kid or kids, your never see them again, all in 10 mins, the mother will always get a solicitor no matter what, but you wont, i haven't seen my little girl for over 6 years now, she's had about 4 dads, but that's ok as long as she doesn't get her real dad, NO violence, NO abuse, GOOD DAD. FUCK THE SYSTEM, it don't work.

[practicing]

forget her - hire me as your forensics accountant as family court is all about money

[RyanG]

I am not sure how applicable this is to U.S. law. You should state in your title or at least your description that this is for UK family court, this could be VERY misleading

[stefcrouch]

is it ok for both named litigants(?? spelling) to have a macenzie friend, I'e both me and my hubby can have 1 each? I am more petrified of this court case, than any with SS
