Court date for my friends divorce is this week

[Born2Juice4Ever]

CBB,


A close friend of my girlfriend and I, is hitting court for a 2 day divorce trial this week.
She has 99% winning chances, she is a fair lady and all. ALl she wants is for the right thing to happen.

She now has The judge's name. I have been trying to find her info on the guy, but I can't.



Any ideas on other than google....?


I guess and with all fairness, she just wants to know a little more.


Thank you for the help:)

Isnt that why you have a lawyer? They know the system (including judges) better than anything you can find on google etc. No?
Dont mean to come off as a dick, just curious.

[Gettin'r'round]

Judges are ****ing untouchables. They can drive drunk, carry guns, be sexual freaks and be just crazy and nobody will do anything.

Thanks for the posts fellas.

My understanding of what a lawyer is for: represent ones best interest.
Her lawyer has drawned up contracts, and is helping her understand how the system works.
The judge will have access to BOTH her side of the story, and HIS side of the story. I understand that the ex husband is a complete idiot when it comes to paperwork.
HIS own ****ing lawyer has fired herself on one occasion---this are 300.00 per hour lawyers too.

We are 99% that, given my friends preparation for the case and paperwork, given her story and all, that she is going to win.

She has given him chances to settle outside court, and he has walked all over her.
Last week she told the ex that, if it went to court, that she was going to take it all down the line 50/50. Up until now she has been asking for 25% of the assets---and he still wants to **** her.
Now its 50%--if it goes to court, in the next 48 hours.

nii, the lady is investing around 20k altogether into this divorce, and it has been a 4 year old battle.(10k alone is set to cover court fees this week)
Now that she has a name on the judge, she just wants to be able to understand who he is a little better. It has NOTHING to do with what or who the lawyer is at all.

BTW the peole who know the judges best are the lawyers who spend time in that particuliar court. Most lawyers know the judges well and know how to play them. You won't find this info. on google. You will only find it via word of mouth from someone who was in front of him. Judges are the most peculiar creatures arond.

LMFAO. I don't want to sound like a dick but I have been through this. Divorce court is about as predictable as a drunk 21 year old white girl on her birthday.

Also 10K in a week? If she really battles it out (and I don't know what kind of assets they have) she will easily be spending that per wekk for ohhh...say the next six months (again I don't know what kind of assests but if they are in the millions...... she will spend a lot more than 10K).

And 99% sure? In divorce court? No such thing as a "sure thing". Also no such thing as a "victory". You can challenge any "victory" or decision. You can keep grinding down a partner for ever if you want.

That's why mos people want an uncontested divorce. Any reputable lawyer will tell you than. A contested divorce is literally a declaration that you have money to burn.

I hear you on some of yor points.

I have never been married, so I can not speak from experience. I have dated 2 different gals (this current one being my 2nd) that have been married, and it is never an easy situation to address.
Sure the best thing would be for the two adults to solve matters on their own, and then hire a legal rep to write up the contract and put them through the system (seperation of assets and so one), but we know it is not a perfect world.


I know the ex-husband and I know the lady very well, we went to high school and into university together. The guy discovered that the party life and HIS friends were a priority over his family...it is when a 10 year old marriage went down the drain....he started doing drugs right out of the blue also....
Meeting with her lawyer this AM in 1.5 hours...he is going to preprare her for court.
First day is tomorrow, and then second is Thursday.
I have offered as much support as I can to her....from what I can see, SHE has been very soft on him, she is only asking for what is rightfully hers, and not a penny more....but the guy wants to keep everything---****ing idiot!!
He is objected to even pay child support....for ****s sakes what parent does that???
I know there are two sides to a story, and I am not defending my friend at all...but what you see and read her is nothing short than the truth.
The guy has a truck parked outside that amounts to nearly 100K, two ****ing expensive bikes, a luxurious boat...and he is objecting to pay child support??? really?
A country home worth a pretty dollar....anyhow, after hearing her case, I think I have pretty much heard the ugliest of them all.

I spoke to her last night.....she is going full tilt to court, and will take him full out. No more 25% of assets and no more deletion of moneys she has spent on her children...now she wants it all down the line to 50%--which is going to put him practically on the streets.

This is Canada where the woman is almost always the benefactor of divorce court proceedings. Even in situations where the woman has blatantly been a terrible wife or worse a bad parent the courts almost always decide in her favour. Just tell her to relax and be honest and she will be fine. Unfortunately i am at that age where i ahve seen about 6 of my firends go through divorces and in every case the decision was decidely scewed in the womans favour.

Good luck and best wishes to your friend,

The idiot husband ****ed him self good by not agreeing the 25 % she orignally asked for at the start ...Now he will pay through the ****ing teeth ..LEGAL FEE'S ..asscets will be split in 2 and he might even have to pay her legal fee's..His lack of brains and his abilty to be a prick WILL cost him BIG TIME in the end he will still lose her and make any friendship between them NIL and lots of ill will will be the only thing they will share together..All the bullshit could of prevented by just agreeing to the 25% and he would of came out with more accests and **** all for legal fee's compred to what will be paid out now...Being a prick can be costly, thinking with anger and revenge isn't going to get you anywhere in a court of law in a divorce case..Lawers will drag it on aslong as possible and they don't ****ing care 2 ****s about you . Bottom line he ****ed himself good really good....
