If there are children involved, the discovery period is also
the time when the couple must attend mediation, which is a time meant to
reflect upon the process and what is best for their children; it is also a time
to hopefully create more amicable bonds to help settle the case outside of
court.
After the two sides have exchanged the paperwork for
discovery, their attorneys speak to one another and decide if there is a
possibility for settlement. If there is, one of the attorneys will then draft a
Separation Agreement and Property Settlement and send it to the other for
review.
If there is no agreement, a divorce hearing is held and the
judge will decide the placement of the literal and proverbial marital property
in a hearing.
