Contested Divorce Does Not Take Two

Unlike an uncontested divorce, in a contested divorce there is no need for agreement on anything. If only one party wants a divorce or neither party can agree on anything, it will not hurt the process. Contested divorces typically lead to litigation, if your issues cannot be resolved. This is an adversarial process where the two spouses communicate through their attorneys rather than directly with one another. If an agreement cannot be reached, the court will then make the decision for you. This takes time and can sometimes be quite costly.

Our firm thrives on helping clients sort through all of the complicated issues in a divorce, including custody disputes, property division and financial issues. We have handled many contested divorce cases and will work diligently to help you achieve a favorable outcome that works best for you and your children.

We look forward to helping you explore all of your options for a contested divorce. Contact us today to schedule an appointment with an experienced family lawyer.
