File For Divorce

It's hard to stay collected when the future of you and your family is at stake.

Luckily, you don't have to do this alone. Having an experienced attorney who knows the law and is on your side can make a painful and complicated process much easier.

When a divorce happens, most people don't know what to expect. It can all be a little overwhelming, like being thrown into a deep forest without a guide. The path you take through this process will largely depend on whether you and your spouse can agree on the major issues or if disputes need to be resolved through the court system.

In an uncontested divorce, both spouses agree on all the important matters—child custody and support, how to divide the family house and cars, asset division, spousal support, and other key decisions. This collaborative approach typically moves more quickly through the legal system and costs significantly less than other options. However, many couples find themselves in contested divorces, where disagreements about one or more issues mean that a judge will ultimately need to make decisions about their future.

Whether your divorce is collaborative or contested, you'll still need to navigate the same fundamental questions about your family's future—it's simply a matter of whether you'll work together to find solutions or require court intervention to resolve your differences.
