What can I expect at a divorce hearing?
With a hearing, the judge will consider evidence and testimony on one or more aspects of your divorce, perhaps child custody or visitation or temporary alimony, for example. The judge will render a decision on those issues only, removing some of the roadblocks and answering some questions about your divorce.
Can you settle a divorce without a lawyer?
Yes, you can get a divorce without a lawyer. Most people do not use a lawyer when they are getting a divorce. However, a divorce order only ends your marriage. It does not include arrangements for your children or your finances.
Why do I need an attorney for a divorce?
If your marriage has any complicated issues to settle, an attorney can be an invaluable resource. For example, if there is child custody and support issues, substantial income, debts, assets or future assets (an inheritance, etc.) then you should hire an attorney to protect your interests in a divorce.
