Read them carefully. All parties are expected to know and follow these rules. Speaking. A trial is not a free space procedure where people can say what they want, when they feel like it. The parties only speak if the judge or lawyer asks them to speak and only speak to the judge or lawyer. One party never speaks directly to the other spouse in court. Interruptions, sarcasm, insults and insensitive responses will not be tolerated. Don`t start arguing with anyone or threaten anyone.

The judge has the power to find you in contempt of court or to remove from the courtroom anyone who obstructs the proper conduct of business. Disruptive behaviour. While parties are supposed to be upset when they appear in court, they are expected to keep their anger and other offensive behavior under control. For quick answers to specific questions, please email or leave a voicemail with the deputy county clerk handling those cases/areas (see below).
