Family Court and You: Part One - It’s a Long Road
Fair warning. It’s a wearying slog to the courthouse. Be prepared for the journey, from first step to last, to take anywhere from several months to two years. If your situation is complicated, or you and your spouse are adversarial, or sometimes just because of court delays, it may well take much longer.

Will My Children Have to Appear Before a Judge?
The marriage is over. You want out, your spouse wants out, but neither of you wants your issues to rain all over the kids. The thought of your four-year-old in a court room answering questions from a judge makes you cringe. The idea of some stranger interrogating your ten-year-old, asking him/her to choose between you doesn’t sit well either.
But would that happen? If you go to court will your children have to appear before a judge?
