FAQ

Can my child write a letter or a Declaration to the Judge? The answer is usually, no. If your child writes a letter or a Declaration to the Judge, the Judge will not read it nor will it be accepted by the court.

You cannot write a letter to the family court judge. This would be considered an ex parte communication.

Begin your letter by introducing yourself and explaining your relationship to the parent and how long you've known her. Then, spend two or three paragraphs explaining why you think she should be awarded custody. Use your final paragraph to summarize the points you've made in the body of your letter.

Be willing to work with the child's other parent. See your children whenever possible. Don't involve your children in the court case. Don't put the children in the middle. Perception is everything. Hire an experienced child custody lawyer.

However, when a person is awaiting trial, writing a letter to the judge will not help. At best, the letter will go unread by the judge, and will be of no help. In a worst-case scenario, the letter will end up being used by the prosecution as evidence against that person.

Paying child support obligations alone is not enough of a factor for access or visitation to be given, if it is not deemed to be in the best interests of the child.

The best way to convince a judge that the parent most fit for custody is to provide real world evidence through behavior and actions. When there are certain situations that may be best for the child, it is important to seek these out and to offer better circumstances if possible.

File a Motion: If the custodial parent is consistently denying you visitation, you can file a motion requesting updated orders from the court.In contempt proceedings, the court may issue sanctions (fines) or require that the violator serve jail time.

You can write a letter to the Judge but the Judge will not read it. You have to provide testimony through witnesses including yourself. You do not have to agree with what the GAL proposes. You need an attorney to represent you.
