FAMILY LAW TIPS
Listed below are some ideas to keep in mind when you are involved in a Family Law or Domestic
Relations dispute. Not all will apply to every situation; however, they are definitely points of
interest and things to think about.
1. Don’t alienate your children from your ex-spouse. Usually, a judge can see write through your
“honest” intentions to describe what the living situation is when your children are not in your care.
It doesn’t bode well for either you or your children and gives the illusion that you are vindictive and
don’t really care about what happens, as long as your ex doesn’t get what he/she wants.
2. Don’t base your opinions on what you think the rules or the laws are. Talk with a professional (like
your BS Kids Advocate) to get the information that pertains to your specific situation and in your
specific state. There is a lot of information available to the public, but unless you know how to
interpret it, you will be doing yourself a disservice.
3. Don’t assume that the way you interpret the law is the way the law is written. Many people feel
that they understand that law and what it means, because they read a few paragraphs of a case or
statute and although they skipped a couple of “legal” terms, they have an understanding of what it
means. This is a huge mistake. You need to talk with someone who can explain to you, in plain terms,
what the law states, what the case refers to and whether or not it pertains to your specific
situation. Once again, your BS Kids Advocate can help you understand.
4. Make sure that you are honest and forthcoming with information that you feel may or may not (in
certain circumstances) be helpful in determining what your rights are or what you can ask for. Don’t
hold back! During Family Law or Domestic Relations cases, it’s imperative that you are honest with
whomever you are talking with and sharing information. These professionals will tell you whether or
not this information should or shouldn’t be included. Your BS Kids Advocate understands that the
natures of these issues are very personal and you may not feel comfortable sharing such intimate
details with people you don’t know. Talk to your BS Kids Advocate and explain your reluctance to
talk freely. Together you can work on an exchange of information that you are both comfortable
with.
5. In order for an outside party to become familiar with your specific situation, it may be necessary
for them to talk with others regarding your specific situation. Don’t worry about the nature of
these discussions, they are intended to help your case and the more people who can portray your
image, success and/or aspirations, the better the picture will be of who you are and why you are
fighting for your specific issue.
6. Try to develop a clear picture of what is realistic for you, what is realistic for you to want and
how you are going to proceed with your case. A BS Kids Advocate can help you determine what issues
are critical, what issues are secondary and what issues you may want to concede (if appropriate).
You need to be realistic in your expectations and sometimes this takes some soul searching to figure
out exactly what it is you want and how you want to go about obtaining it. Don’t feel limited by what
you think you might be able to get, based on other people’s situations or experiences. You should give
considerable time to this item and really determine what it is you want and how you want to go about
getting it. Remember, most importantly, this is your case, your life and your decision. Everyone else
involved is just the vehicle for helping you obtain your goals. Don’t loose sight on this!
7. Your BS Kids Advocate can help you with each of these items and will work with you, in a team
environment to explain to you exactly what it is you need to learn, in order to empower yourself with
the knowledge you will need to present to an attorney to litigate your case. After a thorough review
and evaluation of what your rights are, what the laws are and how the two relate to each other, you
will then be ready to meet with an attorney, to briefly discuss your strategy and move forward with
the litigation of your dispute. To get started, simply check out the membership or rate information
on the BS Kids home page.
