If you attempt to represent yourself in Rhode Island's Family Court for a matter involving divorce, child support, child custody, placement, paternity or any other of various matters handled by the Rhode Island Family Court, you should always "stick to the point."
Countless people who try to represent themselves fail miserably because they don't stick to the point.
Going off on tangents wastes the court's time.
RI Family Court Judges do not want their time wasted.
Why? There are a lot of people who need their attention. They can't afford to have their time wasted.
When you don't stick to the point you also risk angering the judge by bringing up information that is irrelevant to the reason you are in court.
Be respectful. Make your point as strongly as you can and make sure you stick to your point.
My Sincere Wishes to All Who Go Before the Rhode Island Family Court,
I am Attorney Christopher A. Pearsall and I am "The Rhode Island Divorce Coach."
