S10 Ep03: How Do Judges Spot a Lying Parent?

#ChooseGoldman Attorney Akiva Goldman explains how Michigan judges identify dishonest testimony by comparing a parent's words to physical evidence and documentation. This episode highlights why maintaining consistency and credibility is essential for a successful outcome in family court. • Judges are highly experienced at evaluating witness credibility and can spot inconsistencies almost immediately. • While most people are truthful in daily life, the pressure of a courtroom often leads to an increase in dishonest statements. • The court looks for a direct match between oral testimony and documents like text messages, emails, and schedules. • Even small errors in detail can establish a pattern that suggests a parent lacks overall honesty and credibility. • A judge may issue a formal "finding of fact" stating that a parent's testimony cannot be trusted, which severely damages their case.
