CHAPTER 1
YOU ARE HEREwhich way to go, what it takes

A. Deal with emergencies first
B. Three ways you can go in your case
C. What it takes to get where you want to go

Deal with emergencies first
In the legal system, an emergency is something that requires court orders and can’t wait the several or many weeks that it takes to get a hearing on a motion. You have an emergency if you have good reason to believe that, unless you get immediate court orders, something bad will happen very soon. For example:

You or your children are in imminent danger;
or
Property will be taken, transferred, wasted, or hidden;
or
Your children will be physically removed or hidden away from you.
Legal papers have been served on you that require you to show up in court very soon.

If you have an emergency, go o immediately to chapters 1014 and deal with it. Come back here later and pick up where you left off.

Three ways you can go in your case
At any given point in any case, there are only three things you can do:
1. Take legal action
2. Negotiate
3. Do nothing

As a general rule, you should always encourage and work toward a negotiated settlement unless there is a good reason not to. In many situations, you can take legal action and negotiate at the same time.

1. Reasons to choose legal action
a. Emergency (chapters 10-13)
b. Respond to action from the other side (chapter 14)
c. Get needed information (chapter 17)
d. Strategic need for action (see below)
e. Put pressure on negotiations, move case forward (see below)
f. I don’t know, we just always do it that way” (for lawyers only)
