This is How Your Family Law Case Goes Bad in Florida.
Here are 5 things that will hurt your family law case:
1. Talking bad about your spouse to your kids. This is a big “NO.” Not only is it bad for your kids, but it’s a factor that the judge will take into consideration when determining custody. It will hurt you and the kids, not your spouse, in the long-run.
2. Posting about your divorce on social media. Don’t do it!!! Whatever you say or post on social media can be used against you in your divorce proceedings. You should also avoid posting pictures that could cast you in a bad light, such as pictures out partying.
3. Harassing your spouse with phone calls and texts. Limit your conversations with your spouse to things that must be discussed, such as issues concerning the children. Text messages, phone logs, and emails are admissible in court. You do not want the judge to think you’re crazy. You also do NOT want to end up on the receiving end of a restraining order.
4. Not following your lawyer’s recommendations. You hired a lawyer for a reason. It’s pointless if you don’t follow your lawyer’s recommendations. If you don’t trust your lawyer, then you need to find a new one. Immediately.
5. Not disclosing “bad facts” to your lawyer. There is nothing worse than having opposing counsel bring up incidents, such as a history of criminal activity or drug abuse, about you during a deposition or a hearing that was never disclosed to your attorney.
