Divorce Trials In Maryland

If you and your spouse cannot agree, it is highly recommended to hire a divorce lawyer before your divorce trial.

Not all divorces end up in a nasty courtroom drama style trial as shown in Hollywood. In truth, most divorces end up being settled out of court. In some cases, the separating spouses cannot agree on one or more aspect of a separation agreement. In a scenario like this, the divorcing spouses will have to take their Maryland divorce to trial.

What does it mean for a Divorce to “Go to Trial”?

When a divorce case goes to trial, it is because the separating spouses cannot agree on certain aspects of their separation. When this happens, it is called a contested hearing. Commonly, a divorce will go to court because the spouses cannot agree on how the assets will be divided or who will get custody of the children (and to what extent).

What happens at a Divorce Trial?

A divorce trial will not be something which happens quickly. The process may take months or a year or more. During a divorce trial in Maryland, either spouse’s divorce attorney can and most likely will file motions and other things which may prolong the duration of the trial itself. That being said, a divorce trial does not necessarily consist of arguing over who said what and other common television courtroom scenes.
