How Long Do Custody Hearings Usually Last In Family Courts?

It really depends on what kind of custody you are requesting from the court. If you are asking for primary custody, the process of proving that you deserve primary custody will be a lengthy process.

For one, you and the other parent will likely not be in agreement, which can cause delays. Discovery may be necessary. One parent may argue that a third-party attorney (and amicus attorney) is needed to represent the interests of your child. If this happens, we must go to court and testify to decide if an amicus attorney is needed or if a custody evaluation will be done.

How Can I Prepare Emotionally For A Child Custody Hearing?

The first advice I give to clients is to make sure you have your ducks in a row. Start creating timelines of significant dates and events that led to where you are today. This helps to formulate your testimony and the words you choose. This way, when you are called to testify, you’re not taken by surprise, fumbling for words, or struggling to explain events clearly.
