What is a Contested Hearing?
“Contested” means that the parties do not agree on some issue or statement of facts pertaining to the matter before the court. There will be a hearing before the judge where each party will present their position. The judge will make a decision at that hearing or within a short period thereafter and will then issue a court order. The court order will be binding on both parties unless there is an appeal made to a higher court.
