Those going through divorce have a plateful, in fact it’s more like a tubful of do’s and don’ts. If you’re going it alone (pro se,) here’s one more thought to fill your already cluttered mind.
If you are contemplating divorce it might behoove you to do a little investigating and check out the divorce judge who will literally have you life in his or her hands.
Do you know who your divorce judge will be for your day in court? Do you know how he or she controls the courtroom? Don’t assume that just because you’re a good person – it will be smooth sailing in the courtroom.

Are you going in front of a pussycat who wants both litigants to live happily ever after – if so he or she will probably slices the pie right down the middle. The pussy cat thinks it takes two to tango and strives to satisfy both parties. He’s pleasant and provides a comfortable atmosphere in the courtroom – definitely not power driven!
What if you find yourself in front of a legal eagle “owl” that follows family law statutes by the book? He or she won’t budge and a pitty party may give the impression that you’re begging for mercy - that doesn’t sit well with the ole owl. Don’t take it personally, but he won’t budge and you’re about to have the family law book thrown at you.
Then again you may find yourself in front the no nonsense “tiger” and he or she pretty much considers the “he said, she said” testimony as crap and dives for the heart of the divorce. Children are his or her priority and he’ll do whatever it takes to insure that the children get the best piece of the pie. He is well versed in family law and very capable of making tough decisions when necessary. This judge deserves a big thank you, because he’s honest, knowledgeable and the children are his priority.
No doubt there are a few family law judges who enjoy putting the squeeze on both parties. He or she basks in the power they possess in the courtroom - there won’t be any doubt in your mind that they are in control. Speak only when spoken to and don’t expect any favors. Whatever you do don’t cross this person because he or she has your future in their hands!
This article is based on personal experience and each judge has a name – cover your bet by preparing a powerful case for court and knowing your judge’s courtroom DNA.
As Always,
Little Tboca
