Court Process
Hearing
A scheduled appearance before a Florida judge or magistrate where the court hears arguments and evidence and makes a decision on a divorce issue. Hearings can address temporary matters like support, or final issues if a case is contested. In a typical uncontested Florida divorce, the case may resolve with a brief final hearing—or sometimes none at all.
