Self-Represented in Family Court
Season 3. Ep 6. The Perils of Over-Documenting Evidence
Most people think the more evidence you bring to court, the better.
But in family court? That approach can destroy your credibility.
In this episode, Tracey explains why judges ignore evidence, how opposing counsel gets it thrown out, and how to present your case strategically so your key proof actually gets seen.
A must-listen for anyone gathering screenshots, texts, videos, or emails for court.
💡 What You’ll Learn:
- Why over-documenting can sabotage your case
- How opposing counsel challenges your documentation
- How to think like a strategist, not a collector
