final divorce hearing
| Mon, 02-25-2008 - 11:47pm |
Hi, I have never been through a divorce before and I was wondering if anyone can tell me what to expect at the final divorce hearing? The divorce is being held in South Carolina. I have no attorney, I cannot afford one, so I am going it alone. My husband has an attorney. Thanks for any advice and help.

In my case, I had a lawyer but my ex did not. Do you basically agree on everything or is it up to the judge to decide? In my case, Our final divorce hearing was basically the judge saying that he approved our agreement and we were now divorced. I did have to give a statement saying that him and I have not lived together in the past year. If you filed for the divorce you are going to have to have a witness to state that you and him have lived seperate for a year. My divorce was done in SC. Hope this helped.

Court was the easy part.

Hi there, in my case my final divorce hearing was more stress on me worrying about it than it was actually worth. I had a lawyer and he didn't. I filed. We were both with other people. It was short sweet and to the point, basically the judge goes over what your asking for, what he's asking for and gives judgment. Its all just for documentation purposes. It was like they were reading the divorce paperwork and having someone record it. It was over before I knew it......
Try not to worry too much. It will be ok :)
