At Freedman & Lorry, P.C., we are willing to go to trial when we believe that our clients must have their cases heard before a judge. Some divorce cases can be so contentious that we simply cannot avoid going to court. Our divorce lawyers ensure that they are ready to go to court, and we explain to our clients what a court case will entail. The children may need to testify, and we may need to bring forward anyone who has been involved in the case.
During a trial, evidence and arguments are presented from each side. The judge decides on unsettled issues, such as spousal support and child visitations, then the divorce is granted. Plaintiffs and defendants may both appeal to a higher court if they choose to do so, and there will be opportunities to modify divorce decrees at a later time.
Although a trial is not the best decision for children who must go through the process, we understand that some clients believe they have no choice. We will help these divorcing spouses and their children navigate the legal process so that we can come to an agreement that allows everyone to move on with their lives.
