After your spouse is served with the complaint, the Court will issue notice that the matter has been set for a case management conference. Prior to the case management conference, if you request, and the Court finds it appropriate, the Court may order child support and spousal support during the pendency of the divorce.

At the case management conference, issues in your divorce regarding your spouse’s property, your property, and your children will be discussed.

Your case will be set for trial. If it appears necessary to the Court, or if counsel requests, a guardian ad litem may be appointed for the children, the matter may be sent to mediation, or expert witnesses may be determined necessary to fully explore all of the issues in the case.
