FAQs About Divorce and Separation
Divorce and separation can affect property, finances, parenting schedules, support, and long-term plans, all of which may need attention at the same time. We help clients break the process into manageable decisions and understand what each choice could mean before moving forward.
If you’re considering divorce or legal separation, these are a few of the questions we’re often asked at the beginning of the process:
Hidden
Can you help if my spouse and I agree on most of the terms?
Yes. Not every divorce has to become a prolonged dispute. If you and your spouse agree on many of the major issues, we can help put those terms into the proper legal form, identify anything that still needs to be resolved, and make sure you understand the agreement before it becomes final.
What issues can you handle during a divorce?
We can assist with property division, spousal maintenance, child custody, parenting time, child support, and other matters tied to the divorce. Some cases involve only a few of these issues. Others involve all of them. We’ll focus on what actually applies to your situation.
Can we use mediation instead of going to court?
In many cases, yes. Mediation can give both sides more control over the outcome and may reduce the time and expense involved in litigation. We’ll explain whether mediation makes sense for your case and help you prepare for the process.
Do you also handle legal separation?
Yes. Legal separation may be appropriate for couples who aren’t ready to divorce but need clear arrangements for finances, property, custody, or support. We can explain how separation works and help you decide whether it fits your circumstances.
What should I do before filing for divorce?
Start by gathering basic financial records, information about property and debts, and any documents related to children or existing agreements. You don’t need to make every decision first. We’ll help you understand what information matters and what steps should come next.
