Making New Friends After A Divorce

Character, Credibility & Social Media

Whether or not you prevail on an issue at trial is in part dependent on your character and credibility to the Judge. You’ll likely be dressed appropriately, I will advise you not to roll your eyes or heavy-sigh while listening to your exes’ testimony. You will put on the best show you are capable of for the Court.
