This is very important. It’s too easy to concentrate on the other person’s weaknesses, and what they do wrong.

However, You need to make a list of what they do right. Believe me, they’ll be focusing their efforts on highlighting their strengths. Your attorney will be better prepared (and so will you) if you prepare for the other person’s strengths.

Are they a good money manager, do they have good credit? Do they provide a safe environment for your child? Do they have a steady job? These are concrete things that a judge is going to be impressed by.

While we’re on the subject of the things that a judge is impressed by…Remember the standard; “Best interests of the child?” A judge is not going to care, or be at all interested in what you are ‘planning’ to do…

i.e. “I’m planning to move out of the apartment over the biker bar and get a place down the street from my mother so she can watch the kids when they get home from school.” This is a good example of what NOT to say.

A judge only cares about what environment you can provide for a child right now, today.

There are two elements of The “Custody Strategies” package that will really help you out here:

• First, the 161 page supplement titled “Everything You Should Know Before Testifying in Custody Court.”
• Second, the 39 page supplement titled “Judge’s Consideration in Current Custody and Visitation Decisions.”

These are both incredibly valuable resources that will help you know what to say, and how to say it.
