My ex is trying to get custody of my kids. They are separated at the time and I have no access to them at all. The allegations against me were false. How can I best present myself in court tomorrow to talk fast and to the point to prove my side?
Do you think I have a chance of winning back custody?
What should I point out? what should I not point out?

You are the only one who can answer those questions. Sounds like maybe he should have custody. Honesty is the best policy, he has to prove what he says, is that what is making you nervous?

the law is always sided with the mother in this case. which is unfair in some cases. but in your, just point out that, the allegations are false, u miss ur kids, u live foor them and u r not wanting to deny them of access to their father but shared. its all about the child, thats what the judge goes on. the best interest of the child always. i am a social worker, i know these things. I guess u have had a tough time. point out that ur life has changed an u want the most normal upbringing for your children. if he does get access, keep taking him to court, keep pushing always. if u were not married to ur ex and he is not on the birth certificate, he has no right to the children. u r most likely to win, but show no ill feeling towards your ex. even if u feel it.

It's not YOU that should be presenting anything in court----IT"S your Atty----He should be presenting the FACTS----NOT YOU---if you're trying to do this on your own PRO SE you'll be screwed for sure! Judges do not let their court rooms become a he/said she/said screaming match! (that's TV)
Your atty should present whatever evidences you have as far as proof....DCFS reports and allegations, Witnesses on your behalf--a smart judge will be able to tell if the children have be coaxed or coerced in their responses---
It is terrible how 2 adults can't communicate better and resort to using the children to establish control. Who ordered no visitation? Did DCFS's involvement have something to do with the removal of the children and no visitation?
You really have left your question open ended with out more information regarding your situation.!

HI - are you lawyer-less?
In court, stick to the facts. Do NOT let the emotional part of your relationship with your EX to cloud the proceedings. Express to the panel or judge your feelings and positive actions for your CHILDREN.

no they gained't attempt to speak her out of it, if a mom no longer needs her childrens they gained't rigidity her to maintain them. and no you do no longer would desire to get an criminal professional. you would be able to desire to bypass to the courtroom the place she grow to be granted custody and tell them what is going on, they are going to propose you and help you with the paper paintings to alter the custody order, or bypass to newborn centers, i do no longer understand what state you reside in, yet you may bypass to the newborn help workplace the place you reside and that they are going to help you regulate the custody during the courts, confirm you have it during the courts or she will cost you newborn help for each and all of the time you're raising them. you will detect the varieties online to persist with to the courts for custody on maximum states. What a dad...stepping as much as the plate bless you!
