When separating spouses or parents go to Family Court, they want to win. Often they hire great family lawyers, like the host of the Ontario Family Law Podcast, Certified Specialist, John Schuman. But, there are times when everything is going well in a party’s case, and then that party does somehting in the courtroom that torpedoes an almost certain win. At other times, that same behaviour dooms someone’s case from the start. These family court litigants are not necessarily doing anything illegal, and they might otherwise be nice people. But, those unfortunate separated spouses or parents raised the ire of their judge and then things went badly. The future of the children, the family and everyone's finances depends on what Family Court Judges decide. So, to keep people from unnecessarily destroying their prospects in Family Court, this episode of the Ontario Family Law Podcast covers some things people should NEVER do in Family Court.

These mistakes that people make are not legal mistakes. They are practical ones, such as rolling their eyes at the judge, failing to make disclosure or telling the judge off. This episode shows how ordinary people can easily avoid missteps in Family Court.
