Thus -- it becomes more and more obvious that the more you have at stake, the more you stand to lose? Therefore, why lose anything at all if you don't need to do that? While many clients cannot technically afford expensive attorneys, they can actually oftentimes afford our services which can be based on doing only certain parts of a case in the CA Superior Courts, mostly in Family law cases.The Courts have specific forms for this where an attorney can only be hired to do a certion part or section of a particular case.
Attorney herein has seen MANY cases lost due to either poor planning, poor legal arguments, lack of correct arguments, not knowing anything about what you are actually writing about, making errors (legal, factual, or other) and then wrecking your own case, or not really understanding either the Local Rules of your jurisdiction, or the family law rules or cases, or misunderstanding child support and how it works (trust us-- if one party is on welfare/state aid, the other party will pay heavily for that in nearly all cases)....in some cases, it's better not to be on aid, but in a small amount of cases, we have seen a few scenarios that didn't do so badly.
Also, we have seen FACEBOOK used to ruin cases (Facebook is now changing its name to "META"...) after Facebook got into hot water with the former voting issues and etc. We personally detest Facebook because it mainly just brings out the worst in people-- Hell, we have even had to use Facebook in some defense arguments because the use of FB was so bad by the other parent usually--that to leave it out would be downright ludicrous!?
We would believe that locking down your FB site and not sharing with many is a good tactic to avoid both exposure, profanity, fake exposes and lies, and worse, judges don't like FB, and it can be expensive to have to do the tracing on it for evidentiary purposes. It seldom will help your case except to extent the ex actually does publish bad acts or actions on there, if so, then game is on, it's in public domain!
An example-- the ex tells everyone ON FACEBOOK no less, her kids had no food or water and were sleeping on the floor with no matress, house had no running water, heat or otherwise. YES, we won that case in trial, that was a very stupid mother wasting money on a trial--we knew she had virtually no chance; yes, of course she hates us because we won for client and she lost.Mother only gets to see the child one time a year. AND who knows what state that will be in, because the child was sent to the Dad's state in the midwest, PLUS he's in the ARMY, and got base housing!!!
