1. The cases that citizens request to attend should be cases that should be heard in public according to law.

The procedure for the court to formally hear divorce cases is:
1, preparation before formal trial. In this procedure, the court clerk checks whether the original defendants in divorce cases appear in court and their identities with their respective attorneys. During the court session, the judge announced the court discipline, introduced the names of the judge and the clerk, informed the parties of their litigation rights and obligations, and asked whether the original defendant applied for the judge and the clerk to withdraw from the trial;
2. Court investigation. The so-called court investigation means that the judge investigates and understands the basic situation of the case. From this stage, your divorce case has entered a substantive trial, and what you said in court will be recorded in the court record by the clerk for reference when the judge writes the judgment in the future. So you must be careful, your speech is not inconsistent, or even contradicts your own evidence, so you can't justify yourself. At this stage, the plaintiff first reads the divorce indictment, clarifies the claim, and then the defendant pleads. After the speeches of the two sides, the judge will also ask the two sides what he thinks needs further clarification;
3. Proof and cross-examination. After the judge has a general understanding of the case and the opinions of both parties, both parties need to produce their own evidence. In other words, at this stage, both parties need to produce evidence to support their speeches in the previous court investigation stage in order to convince the judge that what you said is true. This stage echoes and confirms the court investigation stage, which is the main source of the judge's judgment and can be said to be a very important stage of the trial. So you must work hard before the trial to prepare sufficient and effective divorce evidence;
4. Court debate. This stage is mainly to let the original and defendant fully explain their speeches and the evidence presented in the early stage of court investigation and evidence collection, so as to make their litigation views more clear. At the same time, if you have enough litigation experience, you can also attack the other party's omissions or mistakes in court at this stage, thus refuting the other party's views and creating conditions for the final victory;
5. The final statements of both parties of the original defendant. This process is relatively simple. If there are no other questions, stick to your opinion or reply.
In addition, from the above-mentioned second stage, the judge can choose the opportunity to mediate, which can theoretically last until the end of the trial. If the mediation is unsuccessful, the judge will generally adjourn the court and make a divorce judgment another day.
Before the court hears a case, it is generally necessary to make sure that both the original defendant and the defendant are present. If the plaintiff is absent, it is generally regarded as rejection. If the defendant is absent, it is necessary to determine whether the defendant is absent without reason. If there is no reasonable reason, but he is not present at the trial, the trial will still proceed normally. If there are sufficient reasons, the court session can be held on another day.
