When a married couple decides they no longer wish to be married, the couple must dissolve their marriage through a divorce proceeding.
A divorce is more than just the ending of a legal relationship status. The Court in a divorce proceeding will consider the following:

Attorney Steve Smith recently won an “omitted property” case involving a divorce from 1984. The divorce occurred while the husband was still in the military, just after Congress passed The Former Spouses Protection Act. After decades passed, the client reached out to our firm about obtaining her share of her former spouse’s military pension. Steve was able to win this case for our client and she is now receiving her fair share of the pension plan.
Most divorces involve complex issues regarding property, children, or other assets. A Divorce Trial Lawyer will expertly advise you through these issues.
A Divorce Trial Lawyer will help you review all the property owned by the divorcing parties. Your Trial Lawyer will help you determine whether the property is “marital property” and subject to equitable distribution between the parties by the Court, or “non-marital property” that may be set aside for one party and not considered during further distribution. Your Divorce Trial Lawyer will negotiate or make arguments on your behalf regarding how the property should be distributed between the parties.
A Divorce Trial Lawyer will also advise you on whether Spousal Support should be paid by one former spouse to the other. There are five types of Spousal Support:
Your Trial Lawyer will advise you on the differences between each of these options for Spousal Support and argue whether one or more types of Spousal Support should be ordered by the Court.
Often child issues arise during a divorce regarding where the children will primarily live, a parent-child visitation schedule, and how holidays and vacations will be shared between the parents and child support. It is important to discuss these issues with your Divorce Trial Lawyer so that these issues can be contemplated at the time of divorce. Dealing with child issues at the time of divorce can prevent future disputes involving your children in the future.
