Divorce can be one of the most stressful periods in a person’s life. Unlike other areas of civil litigation, neither party “wins” in a divorce. The family members all lose something when a complaint for divorce is filed. Attorneys facilitate the break-up of the family and division of the marital estate pursuant to equitable terms so that all family members may move-on with their lives. Often, the public courtroom, although sometimes necessary, is not the preferred venue for the sensitive issues involved in a divorce.

All divorces begin with the filing of a complaint for divorce at the county courthouse. Our lawyers ensure that your case is prepared prior to filing, during the discovery process, through the negotiations inevitable in divorce proceedings, and after the judgment of divorce is entered with the court. Our firm will protect your interests by maintaining a position of strength through preparedness in all phases of the divorce process.

When appropriate, our firm uses a team approach to reach an equitable resolution to your divorce. We work with specialists in the areas of financial planning, taxation, accounting, business valuation, and counseling to thoroughly prepare you for a smooth transition to your post-divorce life. This is important because your life will go on after the stress of divorce recedes.

If you are contemplating a divorce that involves any of the above issues, or even if you and your spouse have agreed on the terms of your split, you need an affordable attorney that is experienced, knowledgeable, motivated, and capable of guiding you through this critical time.
