If my case goes to court can I tell the Federal Circuit Judge my side of the story and why I deserve what I seek in the property settlement?

• You will be able to tell the court your side of the story through your lawyer, in your affidavit (written statement) and by evidence in the witness box. You will also provide a Financial Statement which is also an opportunity to tell the court relevant information about your situation.
• Keep a diary of all the things you think are important and you will be able to talk to your lawyer about what concerns you. They will advise you on what information the court will want to know.
• You will likely need evidence to support your claims so start collecting and keeping a file of relevant financial documents.
• If you have any other questions about the court process you can use our free and anonymous Ask a Lawyer service.
