NC for this - and my only "experience" is from reading John Grisham novels hence the name...
Preparing for financial proceedings and a FH upcoming. Please can anyone help me understand what goes on in court? Literally - I'm terrified. I have no idea what to expect - timetable, who says what when, are witnesses required to be in on full proceedings, what's the best way to answer (apart from the truth, obviously), will I need to swear on the bible?! Sorry it sounds mad but I've no experience of what's to come and I'm bricking it. What sort of room will we be in?
Have been to FDR which to be frank went totally over my head, but upon hearing "cross examination" particularly when divorcing a creature (narc, sociopath, emotional & financial abuse and with a misogynistic bullish sol & bar) I no longer have any respect for, I'm nervous - I can't find anything online to watch and help me prepare, I've read some bits and pieces but mainly it's family court stuff, this isn't about DC (yet...) it's all about ££. Am a shy, nervous individual and now it seems I need to go on stage and "perform" in front of a bunch of strangers.
I would sincerely appreciate any advice, help, guidance, knowledge - it's scheduled for several days. I have one potential "court" outfit. Can I wear it for all the days? I would rather eat my own feet than do this.
