Court on Tuesday

[CJane]

they think I'm practically perfect in everyway anyway

You're gross.

And I LOVE the idea of being Lillith in the court room. Since I can't be (or do) Matthew McHottie.

I'd do him, in a heartbeat

By the way, I don't find it odd, or weird at all that you enjoy being questioned.

I'm quite sure you sleep like an angel. That sort doesn't mind being questioned.

why thank you...yes when one isn't worried about keeping lies straight, questioning really is a very simple process

And fun, I agree.

I'd much rather BE questioned than ASK questions. And, I've found that the one DOING the questioning sometimes manages to prove your case for you.

hehehehe my ex's attorney in the last go round said "describe mr.ex in one word" (I am sure he was expecting me to blurt out loser....which was what the neon sign in my head was flashing....but I paused like I always do, and then thought, one word doesn't seem fair, so I looked at the judge, and then the judge said," I'm not going to restrict the answer to one word, we're not playing those games here".....so then I proceeded to explain that while ex is a good guy, we clearly have differing opinions on many things and we just need to find a way to communicate



and yes I would rather be questioned to, there are so many rules for the person asking the questions and almost non for the person answering

 

[ProSeDadinMD]

anything important that is commonly overlooked by pro se litigants?

I dunno about other Pro Se folks, but I forgot a pen and a pad of paper...

Practical! Great contribution.

How about a handkerchief/tissues and lip balm? (I'm assuming the Court will give you water.) Lip balm in case you go dry. Hankie cuz it's rude to wipe snot on yer jacket, even up north.

Love the paper and pen suggestion- knowing me I'd have everything but that!


I always have my lip gloss handy, always...got a bottle of water on my list to pack, gum (for in the hallway and minty fresh breath)...and tissues.....bleh...lilith never cries!!! and neither do I (at least never in front of witnesses, especially ones that hate me and might get joy from the sight

You may be able to be sworn in and give a statement to the court since you are pro se. Prepare one that summarizes your testimony. Then allow the other side to cross examine you.

I wondered how that worked... Who goes first? I think I would want them to go first, then Zeph... you go last. Then you can add to your statement, if need be...

I love the idea of Lilith... that would be awesome to see. My skeletor is the Mary Poppins type but she is too drippy and fake. I wish you so much luck here! But I think you are very well prepared and will do great!

Whoever filed goes first.

How about the Oribit Gum Gal?

 

[TCool]

Sounds interesting! Where do I buy tickets?

What you mean by "even up north"?? You think we're weird up here or something? Well... you're right, we are. Although It's pretty normal where I live, about 30 miles north or so it gets a little weird.

Good luck Zephyr!!

 

[Zephyr]

Spent all weekend working on the case....sheesh I got a lot of paper!!!!!

almost have my opening staement done, I think it's gonna be good


typed out all my questions for ex (almost 80) and for skeletor (almost 60)....I'm thinking we are going to need more than half a day....but in typing the questions I came across a new question

an important part of my case rests on information that I want to bring out during the cross examination of ex and skeletor...I don't want to be in a situation that ex testifies and then court is recessed until next time, giving him and her time to communicate about and digest what I brought up on his cross, if it is getting close to the end of the day, is there a way to request a continuance based on the fact that - in laymans terms, I need them to tesify back to back so they don't have time to get their stories straight?

My judge won't allow water in the court room unless requested in advance, and if it's deemed 'absolute necessity'. He WILL take recess frequently for trips to the restroom/water fountain, but he will not risk a spill in the courtroom.

So, make sure it's kosher.
