If you have an upcoming court date or meeting with a family court officer (e.g. mediator, facilitator, settlement judge) who may be deciding your divorce, legal separation annulment or child custody fate, here is a list of the top ten things you should not wear when making your appearance.

1. Cleavage
2. Mini skirts
3. Tight everything (e.g. tight tops, tight jeans)
4. Facial piercings, if they are elaborate
5. T-shirts with negative images or text (i.e. fcuk)
6. Fishnet stockings
7. Noisy or visually distracting jewelry
8. Hats
9. Sunglasses
10. Headsets or earphones, whether for your phone or MP3 player

There are many people who judge others based on their appearances, and while it is unfair and their closed mindedness should be challenged, it is probably in your best interest to save your rebellious, rage against the machine show down for somewhere other a judicial forum.
