You don't want to come at this girl. I came at her hard and she came right back at me. Years later, I contacted DK, knowing she was the only one who could help me with my my case. She was forgiving and I apologized for the way I was. She is awesome and always busy working.

This girl plays dumb really well, or just doesn't give a $hi# what people think about her. When you are around her enough you realize just how smart she is. Don't be fooled by her kindness. Once you are on her bad side, you can feel the hate coming threw the walls.

How Difficult Is It to Represent Yourself in Family Court?
Many parents feel intimidated by the thought of representing themselves in family court, often influenced by the saying, "Only fools represent themselves." As a mother of three, I found myself in a situation where my attorney wasn't resolving issues, and I had no choice but to represent myself.
At first, I was frustrated because drafting motions took away valuable time with my children and time for myself. However, over time, I found ways to streamline the process. I created templates for each motion, which made it quicker to write them. I also wrote on the top of each document where each copy needed to be sent, keeping everything organized. Using address labels made mailing motions easier, and color coding laws, subjects, and other relevant information helped me quickly locate everything I needed during hearings.
If you are financially struggling, you may be eligible for a fee waiver.
If you're receiving government assistance, you can ask the court to waive your fees by filing a fee waiver request. This saved me $700 when I filed two appeals with the Court of Appeals.
You can learn from other people's cases.
While preparing my appeal, I reviewed other cases that were going through the appeals process. I borrowed helpful parts from those cases that applied to mine, which gave me a better understanding of how to present my case.
Representing myself has had unexpected benefits.
In other situations, such as a dispute with my apartment complex, I filed a notice to sue, and they backed down. When businesses realize you're familiar with the law, they tend to avoid going to court.
In the end, my former spouse was awarded custody.
Through my research, I discovered that the Guardian ad Litem (GAL) in my case was married to a banker whose firm represented my ex’s divorce lawyer. I was never going to win with that kind of conflict of interest, so in hindsight, I'm glad I stopped using an attorney.
Over time, the process became easier.
There was a moment when I thought, “I can’t believe how easy this is now.” At the start, I didn’t even have a college degree, but I managed to navigate the system. If I can do this, so can you!
To help others get started, I’ve created an affordable program for those interested in representing themselves as pro se litigants. If you're unsure how to begin, click the link for more information.
