In this episode

• Let's take a relatively simple case where you have temporary custody and support hearing that is limited to two hours with two issues. It will likely take your attorneys four to six hours to prepare.
• We walk through some common outcomes for time spent in court in various situations.
• All the judge has to go on, often times is the credibility of the testimony of those on the stand. So freezing up or not representing yourself well can be very costly.
• We talk about the sad fact that "people lie all the time."
• In our experience it never goes as you plan. 
• A lot of people don't understand that your attorneys are timed in court and the time needs to be spent on issues that can effect the outcome, not just the issues that have upset you personally.
• Post separation support is difficult to settle because there is no equation like there is in child support.
• We talk about the efficacy of mediation and why we love it.
• If one person has more money than their spouse, it can be sad reality that they can litigate their spouse until they're broke. It is sad, but it does happen.
• If someone offers you mediation you should attempt it in good faith.

Help your friends who may be going through a divorce go from victim to victorious and bitter to better.
