After you supply your spouse with your financial information, and they give you theirs, you will attend a Compliance Conference.
If the parties agree that Discovery is complete, then the judge will likely poll the parties to determine which areas remain in dispute, and understand how far apart they are.
If settlement can be reached at the Compliance Conference, no trial will be necessary.
If the parties remain far apart on important matters, a trial will be scheduled. The attorneys will build cases on behalf of their clients, and arguments will be made in court.
The judge will ultimately decide on the disposition of your assets. For many couples, negotiated settlements offer a much better outcome than those that are directed from the judge’s bench.
The attorneys at Friedman & Ranzenhofer can help you get the settlement you want. Call us today at 585-484-7432 for a legal consultation.
