If the postcard was from the clerk's office of the
appropriate circuit court, then you should plan on appearing
there at the specified time and date, bringing one witness with you who
is familiar with your domestic situation leading up to your divorce.
At your Ore Tenus hearing, it is this person who will be sworn to
answer the three dozen or so questions concerning the grounds for your divorce and related matters which you will be expected to
ask this witness (and which s/he will be expected to answer) before the judge presiding at this hearing.
Some courts allow depositions for divorce in lieu of ore tenus hearing at court house. Good luck. Attorney Sheryl Shane. Web: www.sherylshanelaw.com.
