Before going to the court :  
1. Dress in a way that shows respect for the court Don't chew gum, and eat or drink in the courtroom. Switch Off your mobile telephone before entering the court room. Don't try to visit the judge while he is in his Chamber.
2. Be on time If you miss your hearing, the judge can make orders that you may not agree with and which may seriously affect you and your children.
3. Do not bring children into court Many of the topics discussed in court are not appropriate for young children. Please arrange for a friend or relative to watch your children while you are in court.
4. Stand when the judge enters or leaves the courtroom The court officer will tell you when to sit and stand. If you are in doubt, stand when the judge is standing. You can usually sit down once the judge is seated, unless you are speaking with the judge.
5. Stand and speak when the judge talks to you Remain standing as long as you and the judge are talking. You may need to stay standing even if the judge talks to the person on the other side of your case. If in doubt, ask the judge before sitting down.
6. The judge will let you know when to speak Never get into an argument or even a discussion with the other side in front of the judge. Always speak directly to the judge, unless the judge allows you to answer formal questions from the other side.
7. Speak clearly You need to speak and not just nod or shake your head because court proceedings are always recorded. Listen carefully to the questions you are asked. Be direct and to the point when answering questions.
8. Always address the judge as Your "Honor" The judge must keep order in the courtroom and will be making important decisions about you and your children. Be respectful and understand that the judge likes to keep the proceedings as orderly as possible. This helps keep the process fair to everyone.
9. Do not talk on your way out or even right outside the door Many times another hearing starts as soon as yours ends, and your talking can interfere with the next case.
10. These Guidelines and all Court Rules Apply to Lawyers You Must Follow Them as Well.
