About this episode
In today’s Divorce 101 A to Z episode of Divorce Happens, Olivia Howell breaks down what a hearing actually is during a divorce. Brought to you by the letter H and the number 10, this five-minute explanation clarifies why hearings are usually short, simple, and procedural — often lasting 10 minutes or less — and why they matter even when they feel overwhelming.
Listeners learn what happens during a hearing, the types of issues hearings resolve, the difference between a hearing and a trial, and why most of the fear around hearings comes from uncertainty, not reality. Olivia also offers a gentle action step to help listeners prepare emotionally for their next court date.
This episode is ideal for anyone who has an upcoming hearing, feels anxious about court, or wants to better understand the legal process of divorce.
