Ever wonder how much control a judge actually has over your life in a divorce case? More than you think. From pickup times to drop-offs to locations—your daily life can literally be written into a court order.
When a judge makes an order, both parties must follow it. If you don’t, and the other side files a motion for contempt, the judge can punish you. That’s why it’s always better to settle and create your own agreements, rather than hand control to a total stranger in a black robe. And yes—divorce cases spiked during the pandemic but are lower now, partly because many millennials are choosing not to marry at all.
