Advice From the Judge

Inside information from a judge that presided over divorce proceedings for two decades.

If you're facing a divorce, sooner or later you'll meet the judge in court. How much interaction you have with him or her depends on how well you can work out the details of your break up.

If you and your spouse are able to come to an agreement on child custody, property division, family support, and all the other details, the judge need only approve your final agreement. If you cannot, then the judge will be making those decisions for you.

In this section, you'll find information and insights on divorce from a judge who presided over thousands of divorce cases for twenty years.
