There are only two ways to obtain a divorce - trial or settlement. While a vast majority of divorces are resolved by settlement, a trial will most likely occur when:

1. There are no settlement opportunities (for example, both parties demand final decision-making authority with the children), or

2. The settlement offer from the other spouse does not make financial sense and your proposed settlement has been rejected, or

3. There is a difference of opinion of law between the parties' attorneys in which there is little "middle ground."
