What does one wear to a divorce hearing?

[mcctatas]

I was thinking of going with a T-shirt that says "I Am No Longer With Stupid", but that just seems mean.

[MrsBrady]

1. a smile?

[TZ]

2. heh.

I like that idea! :)
Of course you could wear your sexxiest outfit to taunt someone about what they've lost...;)

[DS1]

3. Feedbag

[MrCoffee]

4. A top cut down to here and a skirt cut up to there

Eat your heart out, ex.

[mikeytherat]

5. Your wonderful new SO on your arm?

That and a look of complete and utter relief.

[Sanity Claws]

6. Something beautiful and flattering

but still appropriate to the courtroom setting. The idea is to make him realize what an idiot he was to lost you.
A prior poster's idea of wearing a smile is great. It's a way to let him know that you are way past him and just ready and willing to move on to the next stage of your life.

7. arab strap?

[AlCzervik]

8. business attire.

[mcctatas]

15. I just wish I would have planned ahead when I packed for my escape

I took plenty of casual clothes but none of my business attire. Thankfully oshy and I are about the same size so I can wear something of hers (provided it goes with one of the two pairs of dressy shoes I managed to pack), somehow buying a new outfit just for this purpose seems like a bad investment.

23. a nice pair of pants and a blouse with a pair of those shoes and you'll look just fine.

9. I don't know anything about divorce hearings, but I'd say that any trip into a court room

requires an outfit that shows respect for the setting - conservative (the good kind) business attire would be my bet.

Messing with the ex would be fun, but pissing off the judge would not be...

[RFKHumphreyObama]

10. I'd go for business attire myself

Or at the very least smart casual

[QueenOfCalifornia]

11. Just paint yourself

pink. It's just an idea.

[Heidi]

12. Modest business attire. There are children involved in your situation,

and I wouldn't take even the slightest risk of the judge misperceiving who you are and what you're about.

Good luck! My divorce hearing went by in a snap -- my ex-husband didn't even show up. It was just me, my attorney, my ex-husband's attorney, a bailiff, a court reporter and the judge. The time I spent waiting for my docketed slot was far, far, far longer than the five minutes or less I spent on "the stand." :hi:

[mcctatas]

14. Good to hear...

mine is tomorrow at 3:30 and I am already throwing up over it even though I know that my atty. has already hashed everything out with the ex and there is nothing to be contested. I just wish it were over already because I have a feeling I am going to be in panic mode until it is :crazy:

[Heidi]

16. No more throwing up, okay? You need to be well-nourished and calm

to counter tomorrow's stress. You're gonna be just fine. If you're miserable in your marriage and you've tried to work it ou, you're doing the best thing for yourself and your children -- and doing the best thing for yourself and your children is something to be proud of, to take ownership of. Walk tall tomorrow, fellow redhead. The truth is this: the only thing in life that you can EVER hope to truly control is your REACTION. You get your reactions handled and you've pretty much got life handled. :hug: :hug:

[mcctatas]

18. Thank you Heidi...

my body seems to be rebelling against rational thought right now but I will get it together, I kind of don't have a choice about that. It was good to have someone remind me of that. :hug:

[Heidi]

22. CMW and I will burn a 24-hour candle for you.

Have a nourishing meal tonight, not too heavy but not too light, either; then, snuggle your little ones and sleep well. :hug: :pals:

[old mark]

25. And don't go in there drunk, either...

Be on party manners, and it will soon be over and you can start to forget about it.

Oh, and seriously, good luck.

mark

[flvegan]

17. Seconded.

Sanity and good sense, thy name is Heidi.

[Heidi]

21. Actually, on the rare occasion that sanity and good sense prevail,

their names are Melody. Pleased to meetcha. ;)

Edited for insane and nonsense smiley combination.

[HopeHoops]

13. A KISS stage costume and makeup

[tanngrisnir3]

19. A Snuggie. Preferably in that red they have.

[Forkboy]

20. LOL...I was going to suggest what you said.

But then, I AM mean, so there ya go. :)

[NewJeffCT]

24. Is the judge male?

then something very low cut...

j/k.

I would go with conservative (gasp) business attire.
