"The past can not be used against you" is the bottom-line in Family Court if the other party continues legalities after the final divorce decree / Court Order has been issued. Evidence (DUIs, psychological reports of mental health problems) are real world and often lifetime problems that obviously do not go away after the final divorce.
How does one (Pro se) get across the significance and the reality that alcoholism is still a lifetime illness, a consideration, and a concern.
My thoughts are the ability to show a changes / or lack thereof in circumstances since the last time in Court. Not showing AA or counseling show equally hold weight and consideration by the Court and the Court (getting the same Judge) being aware of what has happened in their Court room. But it's whether I can mention and elaborate on the past that the other Attorney has already had me sustained on.
Thoughts / opinions please? THANKS.
