Areas of Practice
NON-CONTESTED divorce
Not all divorces need be contested. Many couples today are realizing there is a better way to part ways. Rather than both parties spending thousands of dollars for attorneys, waiting months for a judge to hear the case, and coming away with a Decree neither party is happy with and a destroyed relationship, it often makes more sense to pursue a non-contested divorce. This can be done in a amiable and efficient manner for an affordable flat rate. In a non-contested divorce both parties meet with a knowledgeable family law attorney to discuss and problem solve the division of the marital property, develop a child custody arrangement, and calculate child support. Once all issues are resolved, the attorney prepares and files all the necessary court pleadings. In a non-contested divorce the parties control the timeline, are rarely required to appear in court, and the divorce can usually be finalized in as little as a month if parties desire an expedited divorce. Parties save valuable money and time by choosing a non-contested divorce.
