Trial

The trial is when your lawyer and your spouse's lawyer get to present your arguments to the judge.

Most of it is an extremely dry presentation of numbers.

Since spousal betrayal or bickering is almost never a legal factor, the reasons for the divorce are almost never aired in the trial. You never have the "satisfaction" of complaining about your spouse in court "for the world to hear."

If custody is an issue, the trial can feature a parade of friends, relatives, and psychologists, testifying about the availability, past care, and fitness of each parent.

Custody trials are almost always destructive for the child.

Also, they make it very difficult for the parents to coordinate amicably on visitation for the "losing" parent.

We recommend that you try to avoid going to trial if at all possible.
