What did your lawyer (if you had one) advise you to wear to court, and what did you end up wearing? I do plan on asking my lawyer, whom I trust, but I am curious as to what others wore.
Dress like you were going on an interview (an important one). When I had court it was a little chilly, so I was able to pull off nice slacks, a blouse and a blazer with nice flats. Nothing too flashy but I didn't look like I rolled out of bed either. Hope that helps, and GL.
Thanks ladies. Most of my closet doesn't fit me. None of my suits or skirts come close to looking like they fit and my belly still has a deflated water ballon thing going on from LO. I have pants and blouses, so it doesn't sound like I need to go shopping for a new outfit.
I could see how anything designer or flashy would be a 'no, no'. It might send the signal of 'hey, i want money to support my child but i have no problem buying $200 purses and shoes". I went to target on the way home last night and bought every style of control top panty hose and plan on having a fashion show today with my pants...... ugh post baby body sucks!
Re: Court attire
I also wanted to add that my lawyer said no designer purses either. I have no clue how much that effects anything but it was said to me.
