TRICK OF THE
TRADE
If you argue that your spouse is unfit because her own pleadings and actions try
to minimize vice maximize your time with the children while your pleadings ask
for maximum involvement of both parents, you place your spouse in a legal box.
She will either increase her offers or look foolish trying to explain to a cross
examiner why she should have more time with the children than you and would run
a serious risk of losing or not obtaining custody. Either way, you better your
position and minimize emotional damage to the children. Even if you don't win
custody, you will enjoy much more visitation than fathers usually are awarded.
TRICK OF THE TRADE
When you stand up for your rights (including custody), spouses who think they
can run over you, and take your kids, house and money, suddenly face the
possibility that they may lose custody and be required to pay child support.
Suddenly they become more reasonable. Do not begin settlement negotiations by
being reasonable. Demand everything just like she does! In negotiations you can
only compromise down . If your first offer is reasonable, where do you go from
there? If you do not ask for sole custody several of the tactics in this book
will not be as effective. ALWAYS file for custody, even in support matters.
TRICK OF THE TRADE
Pleadings requesting only limited visitation are the best evidence of an
unwillingness to facilitate! Use those pleadings as an example in your closing
argument. Argue: "My client seeks equal time for the parents. Mrs. X seeks to
limit the father’s time to every other weekend. Mrs. X’s pleadings ... (lift up
her pleadings).. and arguments before this court ... are the best evidence of
her unwillingness to further a close and continuing relationship between the
child and the father!"
TRICK OF THE TRADE
In his opening argument, a good attorney will pull out the applicable statute or
case and go down the list of "tests" or factors deemed controlling by statute or
case law. With the statute in his hand, he covers the factors deemed controlling
by statute or case law one by one in his examinations and cross examinations of
both parties. In his closing argument, he then points out the differences
between the parties as to each of those factors. During the case he will argue
that anything else brought up is irrelevant and inadmissable. This tactic often
keeps an honest judge honest and frames the arguments to your advantage.
This tactic alone may win your case!
US Department of Health and Human Services
summarizes the risks of sole custody, single parent families: "More than a
quarter of American children-nearly 17 million-do not live with their
father. Girls without a father in their life are two and a half times as
likely to get pregnant."
