There is nothing more frustrating than trying to solve a puzzle for which you do not have all the pieces. This is certainly true in the legal system. Whether
you are getting divorced or trying to resolve child custody disputes, it is
important to have a clear vision of all the options available and the possible
outcomes of each.

The process begins by filing a petition for divorce or child custody arrangements.
The judge, attorneys and parties involved join together to discuss the case.

The trial will conclude after a judge gives a final ruling and makes an order.
