FAQ

Once Discovery is complete, the next stage in the divorce process is to pursue settling your case. Most divorce cases get settled in mediation. Mediation involves taking your case to a neutral third-party professional who has no interest in the outcome.

Informed Decision-Making: Knowledge is power, especially in divorce proceedings. Discovery allows you to gain comprehensive insights into your spouse's financial situation, assets, debts, and other crucial aspects that can influence the outcome of the case.

If the other person does not respond, or their response is still incomplete, you can ask the court to order them to respond. You have 45 days from the service of the most recent responses to ask the court to make an order requiring an answer. If the response was served by mail, 5 extra days are added.

Conclusion: Following discovery, the lawsuit needs a final conclusion. Most cases settle, with mediation being the most common means of reaching settlement. If settlement efforts fail, then the final outcome is determined by trial.

Six weeks and a day after the court makes the conditional order, you can apply to the court for a final order (either as a sole applicant or as joint applicants with your spouse). This legally ends your marriage.
