Everyone has a number of rights allowed to them in the United States.  In fact, there’s a whole list of Amendments and laws that were created to protect American citizens and their personal, legal rights.  One of these Amendments, the 14th Amendment, is the right to represent yourself in the court system.  Which means, in essence, the right to go about a case pro se, without an attorney.

It is important that you know that you properly address the 14th Amendment when using it as a basis for fighting for your right to appear pro se in your divorce case or child custody case.  If a Judge denies you the chance to bring forth evidence or affidavits that could help your case, you can fight them stating that you were denied “substantive due process rights” and that the courts are in violation of the “due process and equal protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment and 42 USC 1983.”

By throwing this out there as a protection system, you are then showing your Judge and the court system, that you are fully aware of your rights as an American citizen, and that you are not going to let the courts take advantage of you and deny you your Fourteenth Amendment rights.  It is legally (and morally, too!) unfair for the courts to deny you the chance to bring forth the evidence that can help you win your case, just because the other party has an attorney and you yourself are going it alone.
