Every divorce is unique, and our top divorce lawyers work closely with you to ensure you choose the type of divorce that will best meet your needs. In so doing, we consider the legal, financial and emotional ramifications from the divorce. Following is a brief summary to help you familiarize yourself with some of the types of divorce available:
In a traditional divorce, the divorce petition and answer are filed. State law may implement a waiting period that offers the opportunity for you and your spouse to work on your marriage. The discovery process permits the parties to gather detailed information from each other about assets, income, child custody, extramarital affairs and relevant issues. You may decide to settle if the terms you and your spouse submit are agreeable. If not, a trial date before a judge will be set. The judge, not a jury, typically decides a divorce case.
The top divorce lawyers in our firm are also experienced in collaborative divorces and mediation. In a collaborative divorce, the parties negotiate an agreed resolution with the assistance of attorneys and generally a neutral financial specialist and/or divorce coach(es). The parties are empowered to make their own decisions based on their own needs and interests, but with complete information and full professional support.
In a divorce mediation session, a mediator facilitates the discussion between the two parties by assisting with communication and providing information and suggestions to help resolve differences. The result is a tailored divorce agreement that can be submitted to the court. Divorce mediation can be significantly less costly, both financially and emotionally, than litigation.
A summary divorce, also known as a simple divorce, is available in some jurisdictions, and is used when spouses meet certain eligibility requirements or can agree on key issues beforehand. Those key factors take into consideration the length of the marriage along with the presence of children and property.
