Knowing your options is one of the most important things you can do to ensure you make the right decision. No one enters a relationship with plans of going through a divorce which makes these periods extremely stressful.
Let me help put you at ease. If divorce is what you’re choosing, we’ll go over your rights and the process required to finalize your decision. If children are involved, we’ll look towards putting you in the best position for protecting your relationship. The courts will always look for the best interests of the child so I will do all I can to advocate on your behalf. As your child grows, so too will the parenting plan which manages your custody rights. You need an attorney that can properly inform you of how your case will change over time.
Property and finances are always an issue when it comes to separation. You need an attorney that will account for all of your assets and debts and can tell the court which party was responsible for each.
The divorce process is not a quick and easy one. All of these decisions take time and require the courts attention. The courts are filled with divorce and custody hearings so nothing you do will happen immediately. I will make sure your divorce case is handled in the most professional and efficient manner possible.
I believe the best way to control your fate is to retain as much control over the process as possible. I will review with you the benefits to exploring a separation and property settlement agreement. With this, the parties dictate the conditions of the separation and can avoid wasting time and money on costly litigation. I will never force a settlement on a client. This is your case. Make sure you have an attorney that is willing to fight for you. If negotiations sour, you need an attorney that has the experience to litigate your case in court.
I welcome the opportunity to walk you through this process and ensure that you are advised of your options and the steps needed to finalize this separation/divorce. I offer free consultations for this very reason. If you are considering a divorce but don’t know what that may entail, call me so I can help you along the way.
