A final hearing will take place to determine the final position on each of the issues regarding the child that have been put before the Court. If an agreement cannot be reached, a panel of 3 magistrates and a Legal Advisor or a Judge will hear the evidence and then impose a judgement.
The contested final hearing is a formal court hearing (like the interim hearing, if you had one). The Judge listens to both sides, then issues a final order. You may give your own testimony and present witnesses and documents.
Judges must decide custody based on the best interests of the child." The best interests of the child law requires courts to focus on the child's needs and not the parent's needs. The law requires courts to give custody to the parent who can meet the child's needs best .
I would not make plans until the Judge signs the order dictating when visitation can occur. Also, depending on the judge's case load, they can take several weeks/months depending on the complexity of the proceedings.
One day of court time is standard for relatively straightforward cases which do not involve complex issues. Two or three days is normal for those with complexities requiring the attendance of experts at court. Exceptional cases may be listed for longer.
A default judgment in a child custody case is a decision made by a judge in favor of one party due to the inaction of the opposing party. In a child custody battle, if a defendant fails to respond to the inquires of the court within enough time, a default judgment can be granted in favor of the plaintiff.
There is no set time. I have seen it as quick as 3 days and as long as 3 months. It depends mostly on how busy the Judge is. I genrally calendar a reminder to follow up in 30 days, and usually it gets done before then...
The Judge will usually make their decision shortly after listening to the evidence, giving the reasons for their judgment in full. Sometimes they will reserve judgment and everyone has to come back on another day, usually a week or so later, where the judge will then give the judgment.
In order to request a modification to the child custody agreement, the parent requesting the change must file a petition with the court. Each side gets the opportunity to present their arguments as to whether the current arrangement should or should not be changed.
