divorce trial
Courtroom marriage ending
A divorce trial is a court proceeding where a judge decides contested issues in a marriage dissolution—typically property division, child custody, spousal support, or grounds for divorce when spouses cannot reach agreement.
Most divorces settle before trial, making contested trials relatively uncommon: After months of failed mediation, they ended up in a bitter divorce trial.
