Will I have to attend a court hearing?

If you can agree with your husband or wife about financial support, property, and the arrangements for any children, you may not have to attend a court hearing at all.

You may have to attend a court hearing if you ask the court to make an order for financial support, or cannot agree about the arrangements for the children.
