Beginning litigation

Once you have made the decision to end the marriage it is time to plan and prepare for the process of divorce. Before signing anything or reaching any agreements or relying on the advice of your best friend, you should seek the advice of an attorney to educate yourself about your rights, the process your facing, and your likelihood of success. General tips on preparing yourself finacialy, emotionaly and for your children are available in our survival guides. However, an experienced family law attorney can give you a good picture of exactly what you are facing and the steps you need to take in your specific situation.

At our office we offer a free case evaluation, which covers your rights, the laws that applies to your case, how much support you may receive or have to pay, what your chances of custody are, and what the alternatives to a contested divorce may be. Once you know how the law applies to your specific situation you can then decide whether or not you are eligible to proceed with a divorce, non-contested divorce or dissolution. A dissolution often is the best alternative to divorce, it saves money, time and emotional stress. To see more on the process of dissolution click here.
