Will you need to go in front of a judge for a divorce in court? This is a fear of many clients. The answer will differ depending on your situation. If you are able to come to an agreement prior to the divorce you may avoid the courtroom.
The attorneys at Turner-Monahan have assisted clients both in and out of the court room when filing divorce.
Learn today from our managing partner Mr. Monahan when you might expect to be required to go to a courtroom.
If you’re getting divorced, you may or may not have to go to court. In some instances, temporary orders are necessary to ensure that the parties continue to act and operate on the status quo, meaning that they continue to do as they’ve done over the past 4 to 12 months. Sometimes, that’s required, and sometimes, it’s not.
Many times, when children are involved with parties who can’t agree before having a temporary hearing, you will have to go to court.
If your case is completely amicable, you can get it agreed upon. You may not have to go to court, but sometimes the judges will require proof, where one of the parties has to be present with the attorney to get the case proved up, get it finalized, and have the order signed.
It depends on the court and the county that you’re in. Some counties require it, and some counties don’t. It just depends upon the process.
