The prospect of standing in a court and facing a judge with your family law dispute can be daunting, especially if you have never gone through the process before. The attorneys at Guillien Van Nuland, LLC in La Crosse, WI, understand how difficult this experience can be, which is why they always strive to prepare their clients in a potentially stressful proceeding.

Before going to family court, you should remember the following:

• Dress Well: In the courtroom, the judge and staff will only have a limited amount of time to spend on your case, so it is important to make a strong first impression. 
• Mediation Is Usually Preferable: Family law cases usually involve delicate interpersonal matters that may impact some of your most important relationships, so a negotiated settlement is usually better than an order from a judge. A skilled family law attorney can help you find solutions that will satisfy everyone, without the acrimony that usually arises from extended legal battles.
• Focus on Solutions: The adversarial nature of the system, along with the heightened emotions that typically come with family matters, can make it easy for your focus to shift from achieving your goals to winning your case. Situations involving children can be especially difficult, but try to keep your real priorities in mind throughout the process.
