Did the fruitless exit pretrial today, as the judge stated 'the parties are miles apart'. The case is my application to vary spousal support based on change in material circumstances. We are both self rep. I want to settle and give her above SSAG, she wants to punish me for not earning as much as I used to (income is now 120k, peak was 300k one year).
So, the trial will be in the next two weeks. It's expected to be 5-7 days of witnesses and evidence.
I'd like to hear experiences and suggestions about how to make it through the trial grind. In particular:
1. How to keep positive and combat being nervous about my ability to speak in public?
2. How to use case law in my arguments - how to present the arguments based on precedent?
3. Best practices for opening and closing remarks?
Other suggestions and comments most welcome.
FG
