[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 581101, member: 15793"] Purse thing may vary by area. I've been to our local courthouse many times for several of my own divorce hearings (it took me three final hearings to actually get divorced!) and get paperwork and check on child support, etc. I've never had a problem taking my purse in, but this is a small town. I always pare it down and often leave my cell phone and cigarettes and lighter in my truck, but the purse goes through the X-ray and I go the metal detector with no problem. When I (FINALLY) got divorced I went in a nice light blue suit, dress shoes, etc. Ex actually showed up (after years of not responding to anything from the court, hence repeated final hearings) and he showed up in jeans, t-shirt, sneakers. I had my expert witness, my lawyer, my prep, my pen. I noted things to my lawyer during my ex's testimony like the fact that one of the children my ex was claiming wasn't actually his child - so the judge didn't give him credit for that kid when he figured child support for mine. My ex kept talking and talking and obviously had no clue how to handle Storm - a nice children's hospital in his area is a good thing, but it doesn't mean they're prepared for a child like mine, nor is he. Especially when the judge has access to all those text messages my Ex sent me saying things like "She can't be disabled and intelligent." Good prep and presentation goes a long way - I got everything I wanted in the divorce decree. [/QUOTE]
