You Have Divorce Options
When you make the difficult decision to divorce your spouse, you have a number of options on how to proceed:
- 1) Traditional Litigation — The most common method for handling an uncontested or contested divorce is to hire a lawyer and enter into a adversarial system of family law that can end with expensive lawyer's fees, a ruling made by a judge on your behalf and a lot of animosity.
- 2) Mediation — A more negotiation-focused option that allows you and your spouse to meet with an attorney who acts as a neutral mediator. This method leaves control over the divorce settlement in the hands of you and your spouse.
- 3) Collaborative Representation — A method that allows for both you and your spouse to hire representation, but in which you agree to settle divorce proceedings out of court. Similar to mediation, but you and your spouse both have attorneys represent and advise you through the process.
- 4) Divorce Consulting — A cost-effective process that allows you to do much of the legwork on your own and employ the services of a lawyer only when and where you need one. Keeps the decision making firmly in your corner.
