Typically, you will need to make at least one, and likely a couple court appearances during your divorce case. If there are any hearings or a trial scheduled, you will need to be present at these times in order to testify and offer any relevant evidence. At the very minimum, you will usually have to attend the prove-up date, which is where the settlement agreement or decree is approved by the court. You will not need to attend the vast majority of the other court dates as long as you have an attorney representing you and he/she appears on your behalf.
