I’m due to be in court soon, it’s my first hearing and I’m a little scared.
I’ve never been in a court room and I feel like I don’t even know what I’m doing.
Anyone else feel this way??

Yeah honestly it’s pretty terrifying. I’m on my third hearing now so I’m a little more used to it - still a scary though.
All I’d say is - get there early! You never know what’s going to happen so get there earlier just in case to keep you feeling less stressed on the day. I almost missed my first one and the anxiety I felt from rushing around definitely didn’t help.
Also! Bring some tea with you to calm the nerves in the extra time you have before your hearing, it can really help! They didn’t have any tea in my court building so had to bring it in a thermal mug from home.

@tom I honestly can’t believe a family court wouldn’t even have just teas or coffees, never mind a source of food or cafeteria. It’s just a cold, cold setting.
