Case Management Conference
A case management conference is a meeting with the judge (or court staff) to organize how a Florida divorce case will move forward, set deadlines, and identify any issues that need resolving. It helps keep the case on track by scheduling steps like discovery, mediation, and the final hearing. In an uncontested divorce these conferences are often brief or unnecessary, but contested cases may have several.
