Before You Go
How to prepare
Practical guidance to help you feel ready. Tap any card to read more.
What to bring
Photo ID, any court notices or orders, and copies of your forms and supporting documents. Bring extra copies — one for you, one for the other party, one for the judge.
What to wear
Dress neatly and conservatively, as you would for a job interview. Avoid hats, shorts, and clothing with logos or slogans. Courtroom-appropriate clothing signals respect for the court.
Arrive early & security
Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early. Expect a security screening (similar to an airport), parking searches, and possible lines at the courthouse entrance and elevators.
Courtroom etiquette
Silence your phone before entering. Stand when the judge enters or addresses you. Address the judge as “Your Honor.” Speak only when it’s your turn, and be respectful to court staff and the other party.
Bringing children
Most courts prefer that children are not present unless specifically required. Arrange childcare when possible — courthouses can be long, stressful environments for kids.
If you have questions
An attorney can help you understand what will happen, what to say, and what to bring. If you’re representing yourself, review your forms carefully before your date.
