As with all things haveing to do with the law - it depends.

In no-fault jurisdictions and un- contested divorce actions, there is no presentation of cases in chief because there is no proof necessary to provide to the court since both parties agree to what has been presented to the court.

However, in fault divorce actions, the burden of proof is what one spouse must prove to the court against the claims of the opposing spouse. The claims must be supported with sufficient evidence in order to prevail.

Within contested cases, the phrase burden of proof frequently comes into play in various phases of the action, particularly in divorce cases where so often the allegations turn on he said-she said claims. These may revolve around such contested facts, as property values, retirement benefits, ownership of single or joint property, real estate, etc - etc.
