What is a Pretrial Conference in Divorce (for women)

If you’re involved in Family court litigation, you’ll encounter a hearing called the Pre-Trial Conference, or Kedem Mishpat in Hebrew. Unlike a typical trial, this hearing serves a different purpose. Let’s explore what it entails and why it matters.

The Pre-Trial Conference isn’t about presenting evidence or testimony. Instead, it’s a meeting where the judge aims to achieve a few key objectives. First, they establish timelines for the trial, ensuring a smooth process. Second, the judge encourages the parties to reach an agreement, saving time and resources.

Additionally, the Pre-Trial Conference helps the judge identify the parties involved and understand their issues. This allows for informed decision-making and efficient resource allocation. Furthermore, the judge may address interim decisions on motions submitted earlier in the case.

It’s important to note that the Pre-Trial Conference can happen multiple times throughout the litigation period. This iterative approach allows the judge to review progress, reassess the situation, and make necessary adjustments.

In summary, the Pre-Trial Conference, or Kedem Mishpat, plays a crucial role in Family court litigation. It establishes timelines, promotes settlement possibilities, and helps the judge make informed decisions. Understanding this hearing is essential for navigating the legal process effectively.

Keep in mind that laws and procedures can vary, so seeking advice from a qualified professional is crucial for your specific case.
