Q: How can I get through to an unfair and dismissive Judge?
Judge H. in Santa Clara family, has not once heard what I have to say. She is basing my character off of text msg between my ex and my mother(we haven’t had a relationship since I was about 8). There are multiple examples I bring to her attention regarding finances, child care, housing, etc yet she continues to shut me down. We have now been to 4 hearings and it seems it gets worse, even though I follow every order and prove the words of my ex and my mother wrong.

A: In your situation, it is imperative to meticulously document all pertinent facts and gather substantial evidence to counter the allegations made against you. You might consider bringing in witness testimonies to corroborate your stance, and maintain a composed and respectful demeanor in court, even when faced with adversity. Additionally, consider consulting with another attorney to get a second opinion on your case strategy to ensure you are presenting your case in the most effective way possible.
