Slam the Gavel welcomes Michael Watson, Director at Family Court Coaching from South Croydon, England to the show. Michael is a professionally qualified social worker and author of two books. With over thirty-three years experience of working with children and families. He worked as a self-employed Children's Guardian for eighteen years and for over twenty years as an Independent Social Worker.
Michael is an expert in the family court at assessing parenting, relationships and the various needs of children. Due to his own personal experiences and his unique position as a child care and parenting expert within the family court, Michael is in a key position to assist, advise, support and coach parents through their private law family proceedings and provide them with the information and skills to represent themselves successfully at court.
In 2014, Michael wrote his book, "How to Represent Yourself In Family Court," available on Amazon, provides invaluable insight, information, education support and guidance to assist parents in navigating their way through the court process. He also informs parent/readers in an honest, open, conversational style about how vital it is for parents to learn the parenting skills they need not only for court but for the rest of their lives. Offering parents relevant knowledge of the Children Act legislation; practical examples of what "good parenting" entails, including how to present or give evidence, dress and behave while in court and throughout the proceedings.
Michael has finished his second book, "FAMILY COURT: Giving Evidence in Family Court," available on Amazon. This book identifies how difficult it is to try to compete with advocates, lawyers and barristers without receiving a considerable amount of support and training centered on giving evidence and managing cross-examination and focuses on the knowledge, skills, insights, strategies and tips needed to be perceived as a credible witness.
Excellent conversation on being put on the witness stand and how to behave and answer questions with evidence to back up all statements made. Michael will soon be starting his own podcast, "Incredible Witness Podcast," very soon.
