Contested Divorce Long Island: Setting a Trial Date

When all discovery is complete; when any expert reports ordered by the Court, at your expense, have been delivered; when all valuations and other reports are complete; when the attorneys both report to the Court that a voluntary resolution is not possible: then the Court will set a trial date. Trial dates are set based upon the individual judge’s trial availability. They are ordinarily months in the future. A trial date is virtually never set in stone; you may come to a trial date that was set months earlier only to find that an earlier trial has not finished and you will be assigned a new trial date.
