Question

A divorce case would most likely be assigned to a court with which jurisdiction?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer would be a state court, which is a limited type of court that handles very specific cases.

Explanation:

The correct proceedings in a divorce case would be thus: the spouse seeking to file for a divorce, must first generate a divorce petition, which will be placed at the state court´s branch where the person resides. Once this is done, the case is taken up by the state court and is judged by it, as divorce cases are within the jurisdiction of state courts. In some cases, states may have court divisions within the state courts that specialize in family issues, but in many there no such divisions; therefore, the matter will be handled directly by the higher court of the state.

Answer 2

A divorce case would most likely be assigned to a court with: Limited jurisdiction

Court with limited jurisdiction can only handle a select few cases (such as the courts limited only to handle bankruptcy or family matters). The procedure in this court tend to be handled within a short time period and most of them ended in a settlement.
