Divorce – A divorce can be uncontested or contested. An uncontested divorce is when both parties have agreed on everything, including custody, child support, property division, etc. If both parties have not reached a mutual agreement, the divorce is considered contested. To reach agreement on all issues the parties may be required to go before a judge. We can help explain the process and advise you in the issues of child support, child custody, alimony, marital property division and divorce mediation.
Legal Separation – Because of financial, religious or other personal reasons some couples may choose a decree of legal separation. We can appraise your situation and advise you on your best alternative.
Annulment – often referred to as ‘a declaration of invalidity’, an annulment makes the marriage void from the beginning. We can discuss if this is an option in your case or assist you in this process.
