Soc,
I probably wasn't clear about what my attorney said about the courtroom scene. He was referrring to wife's bizarre behavior. I'm sure the theatrics of judges & attorneys is played out throughout the country and my case was a hardly a blip on the radar compared to other cases.
This might seem odd to you or others, but the legal system is very fascinating to me. If I could go back to my school days, I'd apply myself and become a lawyer.
I also will add that my understanding and knowing what to expect of family law no doubt gave me an advantage in court. My wife obviously knew nothing, never bothered to spend countless hours online researching and asking attorneys 100s of questions as I did. I even heard her ask her attorney what a deposition was (sigh).
By taking your advice into consideration, reading your replys to other members, and spending each day on Sparc and other sites gathering info, it made it so much easier to understand the system.
My advice to other members just starting what I went thru: do your homework, ask any question you have, spend time researching family law, educate yourself to no end, and fight for your children no matter what the cost.
I'd like to give a big THANK YOU to you Soc, and to the other members who have chimed in at times.
You provide an invalueable service here Soc, your generosity to others is a reflection of what kind of person you are.
Jilly & Reagen, thanks for the sentiments as well. Jilly especially, even if you're not a Yankee :P
