Most parents walk into family court thinking the truth will be enough.I’ve learned the hard way that it isn’t.In this episode, I break down the 10 mistakes I’ve seen destroy custody cases, including the mistakes I made myself before ultimately winning sole custody.This isn't a theory. It’s pattern recognition from more than 20 years working in the legal field, and from living through it personally.In this episode, I share:• Why emotional reactions in the courtroom can hand the other side exactly what they need• How inconsistent documentation can turn your case into a “he said / she said” situation• Why every message you send your co-parent can become a potential exhibit in court• The social media mistake that played out in my own courtroom• What DARVO is, and why untrained professionals fall for it every time• Why violating even one small part of your court order can cost you everything• How assuming your attorney will handle everything can become one of the most expensive mistakes you make• Why giving up is not an option, and what it can cost your children if you doI’ve lived this. I made every mistake on this list, and I still walked out of that courtroom with my kids.If this episode hits close to home, follow the podcast.
