No, in fact most Queens divorces are settled in negotiations and never go to trial.
Because of the length of time and the high cost of a divorce that includes a trial, all parties are strongly motivated to conclude the proceedings as quickly as is reasonable.
At the same time, many people end up in difficult divorces that advance to the trial stage over issues like distribution of assets or custody.
If this is the situation you’re in, and you genuinely don’t want to litigate your divorce, you should contact an experienced Queens divorce attorney, or get a second opinion if you’re already represented.
It may be that there are options for settling outstanding issues that you and your spouse haven’t considered yet, and a second set of eyes can save you time and money in the long run.
If your divorce isn’t going the way you think it should, call the attorneys at Zelenitz, Shapiro & D’Agostino today at 718-523-1111 and speak to an experienced Queens divorce lawyer for free.
