Reviewing Every Detail In Your Case
If you and your spouse agree on the terms of the divorce (child custody and visitation, property division, alimony, child support), you can file an uncontested divorce. While an uncontested divorce may take significantly less time and will not be as complicated as a contested divorce, it is still wise to seek the advice and guidance of an attorney to make sure that you have overlooked any significant matter.
People often do not fully understand the effects of certain provisions that are included in divorce agreements and later regret not having had their documents reviewed by a family law attorney prior to the agreement becoming part of a court order. We can review your documentation and make sure that you are not making decisions you will later regret.
Prepared To Negotiate, Mediate And Litigate
If there are disagreements between you and your spouse, your divorce is contested. A contested divorce begins with filing and serving a complaint for divorce. Your divorce can proceed through litigation and trial, with a judge deciding child custody and visitation, and a judge or jury deciding other parts of your divorce.
Due to the time, expense, and uncertain nature of litigation, many divorces are resolved through negotiations between the parties. In some cases, mediation may lead to settlement of the case. In an attempt to save money and give our clients more control over the outcome of their divorce, we generally try to resolve matters through negotiation or by mediation. If the other party is not reasonable, however, we will proceed with litigation as necessary to conclude the divorce.
