Avoid the Expense and Aggravation of a Preliminary Conference

The preliminary conference is the first court appearance in a contested divorce.  At this conference, the lawyers for the parties explain to the judge what issues in the case are unresolved such as child custody, child support, equitable distribution and alimony.  The judge then sets a deadline for discovery, which is the exchange of information by the parties prior to trial.  Very rarely does the case get resolved at the preliminary conference.  The purpose of the preliminary conference is to set a schedule for resolving the case and to let the judge know what issues are in dispute.

If you and your spouse can resolve these issues together in an amicable manner, then the preliminary conference is NOT NECESSARY,saving the couple time, legal expense and aggravation.
