Making the decision on whether or not you should divorce your spouse is one of the most difficult decisions and individual can make. You and your spouse have likely made investments in businesses, retirement accounts, vehicles, and real estate. Maybe you have children, which can cause other complications. Determining what your rights are in a divorce is important. We can help guide you in the legal process and ensure that your rights are represented in all aspects of court proceedings.
If both parties wish to terminate a marriage and are in agreement as to all issues, then a dissolution is appropriate. We can aid you in navigating the legal system to make sure that your dissolution is processed with the courts properly.
Child custody can take many forms. It could be sole custody, in which one parent has custody of all children; shared parenting, in which both parents have custody of all children; or split custody, in which custody of at least one child is awarded to each parent.
