You nailed it when you said that judges don't know all the laws and you have to educate them 60% of the time. I had to educate them like 95% of the time. In my custody case, the judge didn't understand the best interests of the child. The judge was an expert in making orders that were in the best interests of the mother... but not of the child. I testified for 28 hours about the best interest factors of our child and won primary custody. Meanwhile in child support court, over about 6 years, we had approximately 14 child support orders... because of various modifications and small issues. I objected and appealed 100% of the orders because they all had errors in law and fact. I had more than 50% of those overturned on appeal. These people don't know the law at all. I find it terrible that so many people have custody and child support orders that are in violation of the Law...And these parents have to live with these erroneous orders. And most people don't know that there are errors and they don't know how to appeal them. Shame on family court for doing this to our fellow citizens.

If i had any idea that god placed you on this earth with skill sets specifically designed to give from the heart, i wouldn't be in court case #3 & #4 right now in 2022.

@MandyAmelia 2 года назад

This happened to me where my husband kidnapped my children from VA to CA. I submitted for an emergency hearing snd the judge allowed him to keep all four children bc he said it costs less to have you go to CA then bring them here back to VA, even though I didn’t give permission for my children to even go to CA! I struggled and have been separate from my children for 2 years with a few days every month to see them. So much more to this but people who represent themselves also get railroaded which is what happened to me. I was a stay at home mom and I got taken advantage of and even told my kids were “uneducated” which wasn’t true because I homeschooled my kids! Now I’m back to set things right and make sure my kids are home safe with me.

@YoWhoThisFool 2 года назад

I've been representing tf out my self all 2021 and was in the same situation. Best advice, exercise your custodial rights. Fill for emergency/temporary custody + Custody meeting. I was unfortunate that in my case. I was clueless to where they was. So how do you get them served. Where are they? By God's good grace I was able to find him. But I did obtain Emergency custody. Acknowledge that you are worried about his well being and future. I, myself could never be heartless enough. Honor that kid if you really wanna be a PARENT. Full Time working and parenting takes alot of dedication and devotion. But don't take my advice and higher one as soon as possible. Because let me tell yah. Conniving mfs won't let you live in peace on top of all your obligations to maintain now. Persistent-righteous is salvation. But it can be tough mentally. Keep faith and show consistent effort in raising your precious child. "A wise man knows he knows nothing so get a god damn lawyer." But for real start saving because I'm annoyed by the 3 trial in and I wish I had one. Wish me luck Dec. 1st God Bless

I've spent a lot of money on lawyers where I had to get restraining orders to protect me and my kids and also going through a messy divorce.

I am a very smart, educated woman, however i stuided earth science and Human Biology, Chemistry.. i did NOT take the Bar exam, nor have i ever been to COURT in my entire 30 years of life, I am VERY ignorant when it comes to Law, because I try to follow it. My now EX husvand had a lawyer from day 1, and he knows loop holes since he's been in and our of jail since the age of 14. I was a stay at home mom, our only son is 7 WITH special needs, hes NON verbal and cannot be interviewed, anyways my ex is just - idk how else to say this- a piece of💩 who knew i couldnt afford a lawyer, i tried 7 and got shot down by legal services twice because of their large caseload... I LEGIT have been fighting for over 2 years to get proper custody of our son back, if i had been studying this entire time on HOW TO BE MY OWN ATTORNY , it ha not been easy but thank God i'm actually doing all the advice in your video today, before I watched it, so this gives me hope.

@flyyscorpio2263 Год назад

This is so helpful my son just had a horrible experience with a biased judge. He has proof of his child's mother being abusive to him she had punched him in the face. She has pepper sprayed him. Threatened to kill the baby and said no one will ever know. She has harassed him constantly. When the police are called argue with them curse them out. She leaves the baby with her new man that she just met from buying weed from him. Everyone that was some type of lawyer law enforcement and mediators said he had a solid case. He has proof of everything and then some. If it's not texts it's recordings. She even set him up to pic up his child on Saturday when he had no idea that she had an emergency order put in place for Sundays on for 8 hours only. Once they agreed for him to take the baby hom on Monday she tried to have him locked up for kidnapping. The judge did not want to hear him plea his case at all and he had an attorney representing him. So the end results an 8 hour visit on Sunday with out a secure drop and pick up location for my son so that his child's mother doesn't fight him mase him or whatever she even said she will shoot him all recorded. My son has never hit her ever and he has that recorded.keep in mind that before he even had their child he supported her and her child for 3 years. What kind of judge allows all the laws to be broken by the child's mother constantly and everything plays in her favor. Only in Philly. Yeah that's why it's a mess now

A watchmaker charged a customer $100 dollars to repair an old watch. The customer asked why they were doling out $100 when all the watchmaker did was tighten two tiny screws. The watchmaker replied, "the actual tightening only cost you $1. You paid me $99 for knowing exactly which screws to tighten and how much to turn the screw driver". That's the moral of this video - you wanna represent yourself? That's cool but KNOW what that means and what that takes. It's not a simple matter of showing up because you think you're in the right. The person on the other side of you also thinks they are right and it's up to you to convince a judge. And that takes skill. Thank you, Ms. Grayson.

@eddiegreg7064 4 года назад

Once you realize what type of court your in (article I/II/III), family court is article II since it derives it's limited authority from the Hague treaty. Knowing that you are not in front of an article III(judicial branch) judge, and that they are acting on a limited authority position as a result of an active and ratified treaty, then you can build your defense. Active and ratified treaties are supreme law only right below the CONSTITUTION. Knowing that, you should yourself read the treaty and then several others on the books like the ICCPR, there is a provision in it to protect the parent. I'd also look into the dsm-5 and look for any violations. Anyway, just some food for a hungry mind. Thanks 🙈 🙉🙊

@borntodoit8744 4 года назад

@gonzed11 - You do not understand what a court is when you say . "what the hell is the judge good for if you have to tell them what the laws are?" The point of court is to access justice. The phrase "scales of justice" is very correct metaphor for what is happening in court. Litgants load each side of scales with their case (their information). A judge is not the scales. A judge operates the scales. A judge has no need to understand what each party puts in their scale pan. A judge ensures both sides load their scales fairly eg follow the rules of court. A judge only makes a decision on what is infront on him (on the scales) not what he thinks outside of the evidence infront of him. No matter how obvious the judge is meant to be impartial in his views and bias's. To help him the litigants (both claimant and defendant) must present their cases in a formal way. EVENT (FACTS) >ISSUE >CLAIM >DEFENCE >PROOFS >LEGAL REASONING (FACTS vs RULES) >JUDGEMENT >RELIEF An EVENT happens and raises ISSUES which need RELIEF (resolution). FACTS are what happened (in the event). RULES are what should happen (in law). CLAIM is the ISSUE presented in formal manner for court. DEFENCE is the ISSUE RESPONE presented in formal manner for court. PROOF is the evidence to support CLAIM and to support DEFENCE eg scales of justice weight: CLAIM+PROOF1+LEGAL REASONING vs DEFENCE+PROOF2+LEGAL REASONING LEGAL REASONING is literally a process to draw the impartial judge a picture. Look up IRAC : ISSUE >RULES > ANALYSIS >CONCLUSION. (for ISSUE, the RULES are xyz, the FACTS are abc, APPLICATION of rules to facts once analysed draw a legal CONCLUSION). Without litigants doing this for judge the judge is powerless to say he knows best... he can only judge based upon information presented to him... legal reasoning is literally about laying a bread crumb trail to where you want the judge to follow so his JUDGEMENT agrees with your CONCLUSION about the event and issue being examined. I repeat judge has no need to know the law just how to operate the scales of justice and how to follow your legal reasoning. Hence your legal reasoning must include "the law or rules" as well as "the facts". Is not for judge to go and find find the rules. He is just a referee after all - he can hear thousands of cases about many many jurisdictions (types of law)....he cant be an expert in all hence the machinery of the case must present everything in a nice neat bow for him to have a chance at making a best decision. QED !

Is there a way to go with my daughter in a closed court to support her emotionally-while she represents herself- is there a loop hole that can get me on there with her

@vegas9440 2 года назад

I'm about to go to trial next month and I've did my extensive research. Question, can I read from my notes 75% of the time? In civil cases can I chose from judge or jury. How much time do you have to plead your side 8n Texas civil

@merissavgrayson 2 года назад

Just now seeing this comment. In case you haven't gone to court yet... I read from my motes all the time...so I imagine it shouldn't be a problem. Many states allow you or the opposing side to choose between a judge/jury depending on the type of case it is, you'll need to check your local court rules. I don't practice law in Texas, so I don't know about the requirements, but a good rule of thumb is to always be prepared to plead your side.

Can I ask, if everyone, lawyers and non lawyers, know you have to go by the same rules as an attorney if you represent yourself pro se, why is that even legal if attorneys go to college to earn a degree? The system is corrupt.

She wont tell you family courts dont have jurisdiction. Challenge jurisdiction. Represent yourself, not the strawman. These courts operate on administrative rule, not judicial.

@tyroncline5978 2 года назад

That is correct and therefore you cannot be “ordered” to do anything. Only impartial, unattached, and neutral judicial judges can issue a final order or judgement. This is what they don’t want the people to know. It’s fraud.

Where can we go to study family law and civil procedures?

@merissavgrayson 4 года назад

William Martinez you literally can google (civil procedure + your state OR your state + family code) and resources will show up. Also, look up self-help family law in your area (many courts or nonprofits offer free guidance and sometimes representation) If you want to look up case law, you can use scholar.google.com and search the issue you need info about (ex: child custody + move away OR child custody + drug abuse). Also www.findlaw.com has a lot of great info and you can look up the laws by state. Hope this helps!

@beerhe 5 лет назад

You have to pay to play. No lawyer means you will lose. Judges do not like that you represent yourself. It is corrupt. When you have no lawyer, there is a lot of talk behind the scenes with the lawyer and judge. Lies, lies and more lies are always brought up. Even if they cannot prove it, you say it 100 times, the judge will believe it.

@osmanvincent1975 11 месяцев назад

The Ex- got caught telling lots of lies and both the court counselor and court appointed therapist totally flipped to backing me for custody. The Ex- then disappeared with our toddler daughter from California to the Maryland area. I got full custody, but my California order was a worthless foreign court order in Maryland, and the sheriff & police refused to even do civil standby to prevent violence. In California, the unannotated Family Code was only 50 pages long. It contained a quarter page section on registering foreign court orders. Theoretically, I could have walked up to the right court clerk’s office in Maryland, said I want to register my court order under their registration code, gotten it stamped again making it a Maryland order. Somewhat better process would be to type a cover sheet with the familiar Maryland layout, stating that the attached California order is now also a Maryland order under the registration section. No filing fee, no court cost, no attorney fees. My supposed family law specialist was unaware of this small section. Similar for the Maryland family law specialist. I learned to do my own legal research and write legal briefs that attorneys were happy to put their names on. If I represented myself and other side had an attorney, I always lost. If neither side had an attorney or we both did, I or we always won.

Attorney Grayson, recently in a response to a complaint filed . The respondent stated that " they reserve the right to supplement this position statement with additional material as it is gathered. Company also reserves the use of any and all objections and priviledges that may be raised pursuant to Federal and State rules of evidence in any further proceeding under the law regarding information contained herein. 1. I wanted to ask you if they can present evidence later past the deadline to respond to the complaint. After seeing my rebuttal. Where I may have, stated , they made statement to, but provided no supporting evidence for the statement they made. I am afraid that then they will fabricate evidence after the fact. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated!!!!

@merissavgrayson 2 года назад

Evidence is typically presented at trial or evidentiary hearings, which happen after the discovery stage of your case (where parties are able to collect evidence). Sp to answer your question, yes...it may be possible that either party can present new evidence as the case moves forward or at the end. Thanks for watching!
