Tomorrow, I'll be going to court to testify in a financial battle between my parents. (They've been divorced over 16 years and are dealing with a very messy money dispute concerning back child support/etc.) I'm 22 years old, but still petrified of the entire ordeal. Putting aside the fact that I'm literally having to choose sides between my parents, I'm just plain scared about being in the courthouse. Any pointers?

Stay calm and make sure that you are honest about everything that you say I know that it is hard to choose between your parents but which one of them financially supported you more and that is what they want to know. I know how hard it can be not getting child support from the noncustodial parent my son's dad owes me over $17,000.00 in back support and my son is only 7 going on 8. It can get messy sometimes I hope everything goes well for you and your parents in court but I am sorry to say one of them is going to lose no matter what. Let them both know that you love them both very much and you don't have a choice but to choose sides but it is a position that you really don't want to be in.

Above all else, be honest. Just focus on the questions being asked of you and try not to look at either of your parents.
