Thinking about representing yourself in family court? In this candid conversation, we break down what “pro se” really means—and why even seasoned attorneys won’t do it. We cover when mediation helps (and its limits), the critical protections people miss in DIY agreements (like securing alimony with life insurance), and the evidentiary traps that derail cases—hello, hearsay and inadmissible police reports. You’ll hear how judges expect self-represented parties to follow the same rules as lawyers, what really happens at pretrial conferences in Chester County, how document exchanges and “for settlement purposes only” work, and why preserving the record with timely objections matters on appeal. We also touch on cross-exam basics, discovery misconceptions, and a quick PSA on Miranda rights and consent searches.

Bottom line: do it once, do it right—hire counsel and save yourself years of stress and expense.
