Most Divorce Cases Settle Outside Of Court
Manage episode 442144504 series 3514720
In this clip from The See You In Court Podcast, family law expert Gillian Onan discusses why the vast majority of divorce cases never go to a final trial. While some people believe they want their "day in court" when saying goodbye to a marriage, the reality is that 95-96% of divorce cases settle before reaching a trial. Many of these cases are resolved through settlement negotiations or temporary hearings.
Considerations:
- Most divorces settle before trial: The vast majority of divorce cases are resolved outside of court through settlements or hearings.
- The reality of divorce litigation: Couples may have multiple temporary hearings before a settlement is reached, but very few cases go all the way to a final trial.
- Courtroom battles are rare: Though some may desire their "day in court," the emotional and financial strain of a trial often leads to settlements beforehand.
