How to prepare for an evidentiary hearing?

One of the most important things you can do to prepare for your upcoming evidentiary hearing is to review the Minute Entry from the Court which set the hearing. The Minute Entry will explain what documents the Court expects you to exchange with the other party or to provide to the Court, and will set a timeline as to when these documents are due. Make sure to mark all of the Court's provided deadlines on your calendar. The Court will likely ask you to provide a pre-trial statement before your hearing. If you are representing yourself in your matter, you can prepare a pre-trial statement using the forms available at the Maricopa County Clerk of Court's self help center. Be sure to include all of your requests to the Court in your pre-trial statement, including legal decision making, parenting time, communication with your children, and division of property. If you have any questions or concerns regarding preparing for an upcoming evidentiary hearing, our attorneys would be happy to provide you with their assistance and knowledge.
