One detail that many people don’t know is that child-custody cases are not heard before a jury; that’s reserved for criminal or civil cases. Your case will be presented in front of the judge, and they will likely make an immediate decision and issue a child-custody order. You will have the right to appeal the order, but it won’t be decided by a jury. So talk to your lawyer about what to wear to ensure you present yourself in the very best light.
