Your Divorce is Going to Trial: How to Prepare

How do you prepare if your divorce case is heading to trial?What are the steps that occur BEFORE your case heads to trial?What's the the difference between a trial and a hearing?What happens in pre trials/mini trials??It's important that your attorney gives you realisitc expectations so that you know what a postive outcome would be, and what a "less than ideal" outcome would be. This way, you can be mentally and emotionally prepared.And remember, whereas we don't recommend switching attorneys right before you head into trial, but you CAN hire an attorney for an hour of their time to review your case. Meaning, if you want a second set of eyes on the results of your pre trial hearing- you can and should do that! It's money well spent. And if you do this, go with a good attorney- spend a little extra and get the best of the best to review your case. It will be money well spent. 3 Action Steps YOU can take to help you best prepare for trial:Know the risk/rewardIf you have a trial set- ask your attorney to prep with you (how to answer questions, etc)Ask for a plan for a trial (know what to expect!)And please excuse Andrea's cough...she's still recovering from Bronchitis.
