Why is it a family court?

Family courts are a stitch up, get a good lawyer, one that is actually going to do something.

Do not expect the family court to be like anything you have seen on tv. It’s rarely cross examination, if ever, they are an entirely different entity to the criminal court system.

The one rule I hear works well is maintain eye contact with absolutely no one. Shifty eyes all over the place. It really throws the judge.
 
Their barrister will try to rip apart your statement, any flaws, contradictions etc. They will have formed their own narrative based on their clients evidence and statement, then it will have been compared to yours for anything to help aid their client or negatively impact you or your statement.

Best advice is to always stay calm. Know your statement word for word. Polietely diasagree to anything they say against you. Point out and correct anything they say which is wrong.

Be prepared for them to try and push their narrative on you, dont be shocked at any lies, simply disagree and counter them with what you've said in your statement.

Don't get angry. Don't let them fluster you. Know your statement/position. Treat it like a debate. Stay calm and accurate. Don't go on tangents or tell more than you need to.

Good luck.
