Heading into a divorce hearing can be nerve-wracking, but being prepared makes a world of difference. Here’s what to expect and how to navigate the process:
- Arrive Early: Whether in-person or online, arrive 15 minutes early. This helps you settle in and be calm for the hearing.
- Check-In Process: In-person, check in with the bailiff. Online, ensure your name is visible on Zoom for the clerk to mark attendance.
- Continuances: These are often heard first since they’re brief requests to postpone the hearing.
- Testifying: If you’re expected to testify, you’ll be sworn in. Remember to speak clearly, slowly, and truthfully.
- Online Hearing Etiquette: Ensure a quiet environment, a clear background, and avoid interruptions. Speaking slowly is key for the court reporter.
- Listening to the Judge: Pay close attention to any questions from the judge and answer concisely.
A hearing is a crucial part of the divorce process. Understanding these aspects ensures you’re well-prepared and respectful of the court’s time and procedures.
