Leading-Edge Legal Representation

Cost-Effective Protection Of Your Interests In A Contested Divorce

It is always better to negotiate a settlement, but it isn’t always possible. While many divorces can be handled collaboratively or through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods, others are more complicated. When the opposing side (your spouse and his/her attorney) is not being reasonable or negotiating in good faith, you need a lawyer who has experience handling contested divorces.

What Is A Contested Divorce?

A contested divorce is one in which you and your spouse disagree about the divorce, or about any of the terms of the divorce — such as child custody or division of assets. In such cases, it is crucial to choose an experienced and knowledgeable attorney to help you protect your interests. Negotiation is always the first step, but if differences of opinion cannot be resolved, you will need a trial lawyer who can represent you in court — so it is best to work with a successful litigator from the start.
