Uncontested Divorce
There can be multiple steps in the divorce process in the courts depending on your situation. In some cases, you may be in complete agreement right off the bat. We call those cases uncontested divorces. Our first job in an uncontested case is to advise our clients of what is in their best interest, legally. Secondly, we expertly prepare the documents needed to complete the divorce and transfer property. Lastly, we submit the documents to the judge. You will likely not need to ever step foot in the courtroom.
Contested Divorce
More commonly, there is not an agreement from the get go. We call that kind of case a contested divorce. Depending on your situation, there may be several steps to divorce.

First we advise you and work with you to develop the best strategy for your case based on what is most important to you. Next, we discover the information to allow you to make informed decisions about your family and your finances. Finally, we want to obtain a settlement you are happy with or effectively present your case to the judge in a trial. We have a proven track record of success at both.
