What to expect in court

[giantpurplepeopleeater]

Has anyone been through the court process, and can tell me what I should expect?

I have the first court date in a few weeks for a child arrangements order. I'm self representing, and am the applicant.

What actually happens on the day? I'm told it's normally quite short, but not sure what I will be expected to do!!

Thanks inthename. That makes a lot of sense, and that's what I will aim for. (I'm having that last post deleted as lots of information)

Is it worth taking copies of the emails and texts with me?

I'd take them, put them in date order, label them so that they are easily identifiable, but don't be upset or surprised if they don't pay any attention to them.
