Whether your divorce case goes to trial depends on various factors, including your specific circumstances and how well you and your spouse can reach agreements. Here are some factors to consider:

1. Contested vs. Uncontested Divorce: If you and your spouse can agree on key issues like property division, child custody, alimony, and child support, your divorce is more likely to be uncontested, and a trial may not be necessary. However, if you cannot reach agreements on these issues, your divorce may become contested, increasing the likelihood of a trial.

2. Mediation and Negotiation: Many couples turn to mediation or negotiation to resolve their differences without going to trial. A skilled mediator or attorney can help facilitate these discussions and guide you toward agreements that both parties find acceptable.

3. Complex Issues: In cases involving complex financial assets, business interests, or disputes over child custody, it may be more challenging to reach agreements. These cases are more likely to end up in trial if compromise cannot be reached.

4. Legal Representation: Having experienced divorce attorneys can make a significant difference. Attorneys can negotiate on your behalf and work toward settlement outside of court. However, if neither party is willing to compromise, a trial may be necessary.

5. Court Docket: The availability of court dates and the court’s schedule can also impact whether your case goes to trial. Delays in the legal process can sometimes lead to a trial by default.

In summary, while it’s impossible to predict with certainty whether your divorce will go to trial, many divorces are resolved through negotiation, mediation, or settlement agreements without the need for a trial. However, it’s essential to have legal representation and be prepared for the possibility of a trial if negotiations break down or if complex issues cannot be resolved amicably. Your attorney can guide you through the process and help you make informed decisions along the way.
