CONTESTED
DIVORCE

Divorce is not easy, especially when a couple cannot agree. Many decisions are made during this time, including division of assets and debts, child custody, child support, alimony and spousal support, among many other things. That is why it is important to have the right lawyer in your corner to help you navigate your path forward and represent your case. 

When couples who seek to divorce cannot agree on all or any major key issues, the divorce is contested. These issues include:

​

• Property/Asset Division

• Allocation of Debt

• Alimony/Spousal Support

• Child Custody

• Visitation

• Child Support

• Other Issues

​

Often, these issues cause the couple to seek mediation or go through a trial that could become costly. If you do not agree on all or any of these major key issues, you need an attorney.

Unlike an uncontested divorce, a contested divorce can take a longer amount of time. Most contested divorces take about a year to resolve and is dependent on how many issues are disagreed on and if the couple seeks mediation or depositions.
