FAQ
There's no Federal constitutional right to a jury trial in family law cases. The jury trial guarantees in the Bill of Rights apply only to civil ``actions at law''; at the time of the Bill of Rights, divorces were ``actions in equity'', and do not fall within the right to jury trial.
In all Federal court criminal cases across the nation 91% are resolved with a guilty plea. OIf the remaining 9% - 80% of the those cases are resolved by various forms dismissal either negotiated or or by other acts in the discretion of the prosecutor. The remaining 2% of the total caseload will go to trial.
Around 95% of divorces are settled without a trial, so don't automatically assume that you have to go through a long court process. As long as you and your ex can put your differences aside to work out the deal, you can probably avoid a trial. There are sometimes circumstances that make mediation impossible.
About 50% of divorce appeals are successful. Your chances of winning a divorce appeal depend on what the issues are in the case and how well they are recorded and explained during the trial.
In the case where both litigants dig their heels in and are prepared to battle to the end, a divorce case can take 18 months to two years to complete, and sometimes more. In rare instances, a divorce action can drag on for 10 years or more.
If everything is agreed upon upfront between you and your spouse, an uncontested divorce could be finalized within 3 to 6 months. However, if there are disputes over things like property, finances, or child custody, your divorce could easily drag the process out for over a year.
More than 90 percent of divorce cases settle prior to trial—either by one spouse offering a settlement that the other accepts, or at mediation.
The Don'ts of Divorce Don't take matters into your own hands. Don't go against court rulings. Don't expose your kids to your animosity. Don't confide in your kids. Don't try to be a hero. Don't rush into another relationship. Don't forget to be a parent.
