• Make sure you bring all necessary documents, including your hearing letter and case number, as well as some snacks and water.
• Consider meeting with your partner beforehand to help you stay calm and collected during the proceedings.
• Dress appropriately, formal and smart.

Getting to the court
Just like at an airport, you will be checked upon arrival, as the courtroom does not permit items such as weapons and alcohol. Once you depart, your items will be returned to you.
Throughout the hearing
During the hearing, it's important to put your phone on silent and avoid taking photos or videos.
If a staff member says, "everyone stand," it means the judge/magistrate is about to enter the room. And when it comes time for you to speak, don't worry – you will receive guidance and advice.
