Preffrential Court Date

I have recently filed for a contested divorce and I have a preffrential court date hearing scheduled early next month.What does the judge take into consideration when allowing prefrential trail dates?How much earlier ( i know not to expect miracles here in Houston) does it usually give you for the trial.

You might get a trial in 3-4 months. Unless you hit around Christmas and then it will be January.

If you asked for a jury trial, you are looking at approx. a year.
