No, if your divorce in Rochester ends up litigated, the issues will be heard by a judge, who will issue a ruling without the presence of or input from a jury.
This is a positive in most people’s view, because of the built-in privacy protection of not using a panel of strangers to decide difficult issues in your divorce.
However, many people mistakenly assume that without a jury, their matter will be heard and ruled on quickly, which often isn’t the case.
Judges can take anywhere from weeks to months to issue a ruling, based on the complexity of the issues and their workload, so if your divorce is headed to trial, get ready to wait a little longer.
The attorneys at Friedman & Ranzenhofer can help you through all the stages of your divorce, from planning a strategy before your filing to building strong cases ahead of a divorce trial.
