What If I've Already Been Served With Divorce Papers?

You must immediately act to protect your rights. After you’ve been served with a divorce petition, you have a limited amount of time to file a legal response. If you fail to act, the Court may enter a default judgment against you. Call our office immediately if you have been served with court papers of any kind.

How Much Will This Cost Me?

Our goal is always to work efficiently to get you the best result possible without unnecessary expense. Beyond legal fees, there are other unavoidable costs including filing fees, photocopying, postage, delivery fees, depositions, and transcripts.

What Documents Will I Need?

Make an appointment as soon as possible and start gathering information. Our office will likely need income statements, bank account statements, investment account statement, retirement account statements, life insurance policy statements, real property documents, mortgage, credit card, and loan statements, wills or estate plans, recent tax returns, and any other personal relevant documents.

Why Do I Need An Attorney?

There are significant issues at stake when ending a marriage. How will you divide your property? How will you divide your debt? What about retirement accounts? If you have children, who will they live with? How much child support will you be required to pay? Who will pay for their medical insurance? Having an attorney is invaluable to ensure you are protected during divorce proceedings.

How Is Custody Determined?

The court will determine what is in the best interests of the children. Usually it is in the best interests of the child to have continuing and frequent contact with both parents. In a custody dispute, you may have a specialist carry out a custody evaluation. The more active you are in your children’s lives, the more likely the custody order will reflect equal time with the children.

What If I Can't Afford An Attorney?

If your spouse is the primary earner, it is possible to ask the Court to order that he or she pay for your legal fees. Contact our office to discuss further.
