Most Divorce Cases Settle Outside Of Court

Description:

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.
