Contested & Uncontested Divorce Attorney

Which Type of Divorce is Right For Me?

Many situations arise when filing for divorce, many of them surrounding the issues of children and property division.  A contested divorce is when the parties cannot easily agree on the details of the divorce and negotiations or even Family Court will be needed to finalize the proceedings.  An uncontested divorce is when neither party will be opposing any of the points that need to be addressed in the divorce.  If you and your spouse are able to agree on most issues that need to be handled, such as child support, alimony, property division and other factors, then this may be the type of divorce that will work for you. 

Whether you need a contested divorce or an uncontested divorce, it is advisable to seek the services of an family law attorney to assist you with this process.  Although the uncontested divorce is normally quicker and easier, many issues can come up that will require a professional to handle so as not to delay the process.  Our firm offers a flat rate for the filing of your uncontested divorce that provides you with the security you need to know that your divorce is being handled correctly and that no issues will come up later on. 

With a contested divorce, each issue must be addressed individually between parties until a resolution is found.  A divorce cannot be finalized until both parties agree to all aspects of the divorce.  With our experience in this area, our legal staff knows how best to approach each issue in order to work out a resolution that will ultimately benefit all parties.  If for some reason there is too much strife between parties to reach this resolution, the Family Court may ultimately be used to make a determination.
