If your ex constantly lies or twists the truth, your first instinct may be to explain or defend yourself. But in family court—or even in text exchanges—looking defensive can hurt you more than help you.
Judges aren’t therapists. They won’t dive into emotional backstories. They look for stability, documentation, and credibility.
So how do you push back without looking like the problem?
Use short, calm, and factual responses. Keep a parenting journal. Use co-parenting apps like OurFamilyWizard to document communication without engaging in arguments. And most importantly—don’t let your ex bait you into emotional outbursts, especially in writing or in court.
