The Process Of Trial In A Contested Divorce Case
April 20th, 2008 by admin
The trial will usually be marked by the presence of the lawyers representing the two spouses, the presiding judge, master, referee or such other person who may possess information relevant to the case. This information is provided in the form of witness testimony.
The trial will be finally conducted in the presence of a judge, master, magistrate or another hearing officer. The trial opens with the attorneys of both sides making their opening remarks to give an outline how they view the overall case and how they intend to proceed with arguing their case.
Once the opening statements at both sides have been completed, the petitioner or initiator of the divorce proceedings will get the first chance to present their side of the arguments. It will begin with direct examination of the witnesses by calling them to the witness box in presence of the judge.
