What should you be trying to achieve in family court?
When you have decided that you have to take your spouse to family law court or your spouse has taken you to court, you must first decide what you want to get from court.
Here’s the bottom line: Failing to plan what you want to get in family court means you’re planning to fail.
You should closely think about the following issues or problems in your case:
Court paperwork requires you to set out what orders that you want from the court.
When you start court proceedings, you are required to fill out a court document called an Application.
You must clearly show or indicate the specific orders that you want your local family court to make for you to deal with your specific family law situation.
When you are served with or receive a court application from your spouse, you must respond to your spouse’s allegations in their court application by serving and filing your own court papers.
In short, you can make claims or request specific orders from the court whether you are starting the court proceedings with a court application or you are responding to your spouse’s court application with your own court papers called an Answer.
Your experienced Pickering family law and divorce lawyer will take the details of your case and the goals you want to achieve and complete your court paperwork. Of course, your lawyer will review your court paperwork with you and make any necessary revisions and corrections.
Make sure you do not to deal with a difficult spouse by indulging in certain behaviours that can seriously hurt your family law case:
If you spend money that is considered part of the marriage or joint assets, you will be held accountable for this money. In other words, you will have to pay at least half of this money back to your spouse in many cases.
You are also spending money that you will probably need for your own living expenses after your separation or divorce.
Don’t use spending money as a way to deal with a difficult spouse. It’s simply too costly in all ways.
You have to realize that the marriage or relationship is over if your spouse is taking you to family court or you’re starting the family court proceedings.
If you don’t accept that your marriage or relationship is over, you can easily fail to protect your legal rights. You can forget or just refuse to complete the required family court paperwork. When you fail to complete this important paperwork, your spouse can get court orders against you that are against your best interests and the best interests of your children.
You can also accept a really bad Offer to Settle or Minutes of Settlement when you don’t take seriously the fact that your spouse now considers you a problem and will do, in many cases, whatever it takes to harm you emotionally and financially.
When you react to a difficult spouse by becoming angry and difficult yourself, you will find it much more unlikely that you will get a fair and reasonable settlement.
You must always try to stay calm, cool and collected as much as you can during the family court process. Stay calm, know your legal rights, and only offer and accept a fair and reasonable settlement dealing with your family law rights.
You must not fail to plan ahead when you are getting separated or divorced. When you are dealing with a difficult spouse, you must always carefully plan for your family law case and your future.
You must carefully examine your financial situation and determine how much money you will need for living expenses during your family law case and after your family law case is completed.
There’s no question about it that separation and divorce are two of life’s most difficult situations.
Then, on top of the separation or divorce, you might have to deal with a difficult family court case.
It’s absolutely critical that you as much as possible let go of any negative emotions that you have from your separation or divorce so that you can be at your best in your family court case.
Make sure you have a support network of parents, relatives and friends who can help you during this difficult time in your life.
