Child Custody Trial----Not Like on TV

Soc--

Thank you very much for your valuable advice during this time.  I have two more questions.

We went to court for Child Custody on Wednesday.  Mom in TX, Dad in AZ, court in AZ.  Mom appeared telephonically.

Judge called both lawyers into chambers.  We had exactly 45 minutes to present situation to the judge.  20 minutes later, the lawyers come out and say they will do all the testifying.  The one witness was dismissed from the court room so that other testimony cannot affect her testimony.

All the evidence was against BM.  Only had her word and the word of her witness, which was excused, to refute physical evidence (court ordered reports and police reports).  I think it came out in Dad's favor, but you never know.

After all was said and done, judge says he will take evidence under advisement and notify us by mail.  Lawyer says judge has 60 days to comply.

1)  How common is it for a judge to make people wait for a decision in the mail?  

2)  Is there anything else I should be worried about?

You haven't provided any facts about your case, so I haven't a clue.
