Courtroom Focus Strategies

Summary

When addressing a judge, stay calm, listen carefully, and be concise. If unable to use a court-ordered app, explain technical and financial constraints. Highlight the importance of direct communication, especially for your autistic sons school changes. Emphasize your role as appointed by the mediator for your sons educational needs. Use California Family Code Sections 3011, 3020, and 3080 to assert your rights for joint custody and frequent contact. Address any false claims with requests for evidence and highlight the opposing partys history of DUIs and domestic violence. If mediation suggests you lead on special needs, continue following it until the court decides otherwise.

yes please. The judged suggested that i use an app for co-parenting with our childrens mother, however my phone couldnt download the apps size and it was out of my budget. can you apply your best legal approach to answering why I havent used the app requested within the 7 days as ordered in court?

I understand the situation. When explaining to the judge, it's important to be honest and concise. You might say:
"Your Honor, I was unable to download the app within the given timeframe because my phone did not have enough storage capacity, and I also couldn't afford a new phone or additional storage. I am looking for alternative solutions to comply with the order."
Would you like more tips on how to communicate effectively in court?

yes please, and thank you for helping me. I tend to get overwhelmed and scattered with intrusive thoughts when working on this matter, as there has been alot of injustice, because i cant afford an attorney but my childrens mother has all this financial support and plenty of income to try and turn the tables because she has priors of dui and domestic violence. If you can use sources and cases that apply to my situational, your the only tool i have to help me outside of the prayers and support from few and my personal relationship with Jesus Christ. hope thats not too much to share with AI, lol

It's great that you're seeking guidance and maintaining your faith. Here are some tips to help you navigate your situation:
- Stay Focused: Write down key points before the hearing to stay organized.
- Document Everything: Keep detailed records of interactions and incidents.
- Highlight Prior Incidents: Mention the other party's prior DUIs and domestic violence records as they affect custody decisions.
- Stay Positive: Focus on your children's best interests and your ability to provide a stable environment.
Would you like information on any specific legal rules or cases that might be relevant?

what is the strategy to bringing up instances i.e " She didnt inform me of changing our autistic sons schools nor gave details of the school and its locations." Shes going to say she informed me on the app that i couldnt afford to use, with screenshots. Also i informed her over the phone i couldnt download it, and asked about his schooling on every transfer. His previous school informed me, which her affiliates work at. How do i bring this to light using keen strategy? use camille vasquez's style examples for me to recite please. thank you

Sure, here's a strategy to present your case effectively:
*. Establish the Issue Clearly:
- "Your Honor, I was not informed by the children's mother about changing our autistic son's school. I only learned about it through his previous school."
*. Provide Evidence of Communication Issues:
- "I have communicated over the phone that I couldn't download the co-parenting app due to storage issues and financial constraints. Despite this, I repeatedly asked about our son's schooling during every transfer."
*. Highlight the Lack of Direct Communication:
- "The children's mother was aware that I couldn't use the app, yet she chose not to inform me directly about the school change, which I consider a significant decision requiring both parents' involvement."
*. Show the Effect on Child's Welfare:
- "This lack of communication impacts our son's stability and his educational needs, which are critical given his autism."
*. Question the Credibility with Prior Incidents:
- "Given the children's mother's history of DUIs and domestic violence, it raises concerns about her decision-making and prioritization of our children's well-being."

Conclusion:
"Your Honor, I respectfully request that the court considers these points and ensures that both parents are equally involved in making decisions that affect our children's lives.
