Start out by going into the court room with a cool head and keep it that way. Stand your ground and don't get a soft spot (there is a reason you are there is the first place). You may have to give and take but keep it reasonable. Don't get caught up in a lengthy battle over material items that are replaceable. When material items are brought up, you need to determine if the extra hours of the attorney are cheaper than the item.
If you have children and live in a state which specifies a minimum child visitation/contact, make sure that the state code for it is listed in the decree. This may save a trip back to court.
