It’s important to understand the process and what role a divorce attorney plays. Divorce and separation cases can be daunting, as well as emotionally taxing; however, our proficient divorce attorneys will guide you through the complex legal proceedings.
With empathy and expertise, our divorce attorneys will work to protect your rights, interests, financial future, family, business, parenting and property rights before and during the divorce process and help you prepare for life after your marriage ends.
While we support out-of-court resolutions, we believe that the bedrock of any effective negotiation is preparation for trial, ensuring that your rights are protected if court intervention becomes necessary.
Divorce can be emotionally and financially draining for all parties involved, so it’s important to understand the process before you begin.
Divorce Petition
Once a petition has been filed by one spouse, the other must respond within an allotted timeframe or risk having their input disregarded in court proceedings.
Temporary Motions & Discovery
While the case is pending, decisions will need to be made concerning living arrangements, payment of on-going community expenses, and visitation schedules with the kids.
If negotiations or mediation fail to yield a resolution, litigation may be the only route and information has to be gathered for court. The discovery process can be long and arduous depending on the complexity of the assets and issues involved.
Settlement or Trial
More than 90 percent of divorce cases settle prior to trial. Many clients prefer settlements to avoid the anxiety of a public family dispute. However, if all negotiations fail, you need experienced trial and litigation attorneys on your side.
Paper Work & Next Steps
Whether you settle out of court or attend trial, preparation of various paperwork, such as a decree, deeds, and other closing documents is a necessary part of the divorce process.
Without an order that is clearly written with specific terms and conditions, you will not be able to enforce your rights.
