defending myself in court


Question Posted Monday October 19 2009, 4:12 pm

i am getting ready to go into court to fight for custody of my daughter and i need to know how to defend both myself and her.
her "biological factor" impregnated me as a minor and he was 15 yrs older then me.(no i didnt know that)
he has only seen her twice in almost 4 years and one of those days was a court date
he claims he has an attorney but he filled out paperwork saying hes representing himself.
i have myspace messages and text messages of him saying i can have her
he is still lieing to me but if its one against one then i may not be able to prove it

please if you have any suggestions other then getting a lawyer i would love to hear them
and do you know if i can use the text messages and myspace messages?

I agree with the above answer, but also, do not converse anymore with him on the matter personally. Hire an attorney and have them mediate. The biggest trouble you can get in is communicating without an attorney. Record whatever you can, and make sure it is the truth. Judges will want proof, although they do take heresay into account.

What you should be thinking about is what is the most beneficial to your daughter. And you should express this to the judge. Do not bad mouth your husband in front of the judge, as this will only make them see you in a less flattering light. You want to be mature and persistent in expressing the best possible situation for your daughter. Always keep her and her well-being in mind and put her wishes before your own.

But yes, hire an attorney.

If I were you I would print out the myspace messages and save the text messages as evidence for court. MySpace messages and text messages are valid evidence for this case. I think you have enough to prove him wrong and if you have any voicemails or anything else just use it. The more you have the more you prove him guilty.

Good luck! :)
