Is it ok to laugh in court...?

when my wife is asked why she put in another custody petition on me and she answers by saying that i play my music loud and that i dont listen to her or her parents. or how about the fack that she is tape recording me. MAYBE its me, but if i was a judge i would look at her and say "are you nuts, leave the court room." now of course she will exagerate on these claims, but that is what it boils down to, i played my music loud and i dont listen to what they tell me, or try to tell me to do. i just want to laugh so hard.
Additional Details
not really going to laugh, im just so frustrated and mad about this rediculous stuff that i just want to laugh

The judge hears those kind of stupid things all day long. Don't stoop to her level by laughing. If you laugh the judge will get mad. Trust me you want the judge on your side. I know it's frustrating but just stay calm and quiet. Good Luck.

If you laugh you will look like an azz. Just remain professional and adultlike.

It all depends on the judge and the mood he/she is in.

I laughed at the audacity my ex thought was 'logic', and then immediately caught myself. The judge over my hearing seemed pretty grumpy, but ended up being pretty 'nice'.

Not good if they think you're being flippant, but they can be understanding too. If at all possible, just keep your composure and it will turn out better for you. Your ex won't need your help at all in making an a$$ out of herself and the judge will see it for what it is.

Just hold it in & when the judge rules in your favor we can go outside the courtroom & do a little nanana boo boo dance!!!!

if i were the judge i would ask her to repeat herself because i wasn't listening to her...then i would put on an mp3 as she tries...so ya, laugh it up..laugh right in her face

You can safely laugh if (and ONLY if) you've made the judge laugh too. I was giving testimony in a case about a year ago and I broke the entire courtroom up with one of my stories, but I wasn't initally going for laughter...it was a fortunate consequence. Mostly, you should dress presentably, remain courteous and respectful no matter what is said, and keep displays of your emotions extremely close to your chest. Good luck.

Yes it's funny , but please don't laugh in court , and let the judge laugh himself . Obviously she feels that she is the victim .

Remember, this is about your children -- don't laugh. Stick to the facts, provide proof whenever you can and always conduct yourself in a mature and graceful manner. Be the kind of father that your kids will be proud of. Your kids are depending on you!

I think its funny but when the judge sees in and the other person your against your just insane however the judge might consider asking you why u laughing even thou its funny.

lol

I hear you. Custody battles are always the worse and the mean parent because there is always one... They always forget that the children are the ones that suffer.

I would only tell you to keep your cool and always have an attorney.. And make sure that when ever you talk to her on the phone keep the conversation clean, so that there is nothing on used against you.

good luck

anyone who laughs in a court room is insane

well if it's an uncontrollable laughter then i don't think you should, u should try to contain it as long as you can, but if it;s a little smirk, or giggle, then sure why not, i d think that the judge will penalize you for laughing!


Tara
When in Court session - you should be the picture of perfection.

Don't show any sign of disrespect - or the Judge may think your wife has valid reason for her case.

Just let your wife plea her case. If it is ridiculous - the Judge will recognize it pretty-quickly. Most Judges knows most tricks in the Court Room.

"Keep your cool" ,, it pays-off better.


Max
Don't worry I had a case when I was on a jury that makes your case really seem bogus. Laugh and enjoy your life but try not to wind up in jail

That is funny ....Try to keep calm..and I think you just had to see how many other people think that she is being picky and silly.

That is really petty on her part and her credibility if she still has any is going to diminish ( sorry sp errors)

TOO BAD JUDGES DON'T LOOK TO KINDLY ON IT CAUSE THERE ARE TIMES WHEN A PERSON REALLY SHOULD JUST LET OUT A STOMACH CRAMPING ROLLING ON THE FLOOR LAUGH WHEN PEOPLE GET SO RIDICULOUS!!!!!

The whole court room laughed when they heard my ex-wife tell the judge," If you give me two weeks, I can be clean."

That was when the judge asked her why she was refusing to take a drug test.
