Q: …..should it be for the preliminary hearing as opposed to the full hearing?
A: David's Answer: There is no pre-set limit whether you're talking about a preliminary proceeding or a trial. The term "opening statement" really only applies to a trial proceeding, however. That said, then length of how long the Judge will permit you to make a statement (either way) is in the discretion of the individual Judge. Schedule a consult with a Westchester Family Law attorney for a full assessment. -- David Bliven, Westchester Family Law attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
