STEP THREE COMING TO COURT
This is the final step in setting your child custody order. You will have to come to court to
put on your case and explain to the judge why you should get the custody arrangement
you are requesting.
Be sure to bring any evidence or witnesses that will help you prove your case.
Remember, it is your responsibility to show the court why you should get the custody
arrangement you requested. You have to prove this in court using testimony from the
witnesses and any evidence that you have that is relevant.
Make sure you are present in the courtroom on the day and time that you were given by
the court. Get to court early to allow time for traffic, parking, walking to the courthouse,
and getting through security.
Go to the courtroom and wait quietly until your case is called. When your case is called,
stand up and go forward. The judge will allow you to call your witnesses and testify first.
The judge will also allow the other side to question you and your witnesses. Make sure
to introduce any evidence that you brought with you when it’s your turn.
