A Client-Focused Approach
What if you go to court?
- What if you end up with the car when what you really wanted was the piano?
- What if you lose your property?
- What if you have a visitation schedule that doesn't fit your life at all?
- What if you have the house, but not the kids to live in it?
When you rely on a lawyer or judge to make decisions for you by going through the traditional divorce, then you are giving up much of your ability to make decisions for yourself.
What if after the end of a long contentious fight, the judge simply rules against you?
Can you afford to gamble with your future?
Property Division can be a Difficult Time for Your Family
When people enter into property division from a collaborative angle rather than an adversarial one, a lot of things change.
Not only does the process tend to move along faster, but you tend to have a better result.
Property division can be a difficult and trying time; often there are hurt feelings and a sense of betrayal involved. It doesn't matter how you approach it, divorce isn't a pain-free experience and beware of anyone who tells you otherwise.
A Reasoned Approach
But, you can do a lot to avoid making a bad situation worse.
Working through mediation, collaboration or consultation handles issues of property division including considerations of undisclosed assets, community property and separate property just as any court would. But the alternatives to litigation empower you to resolve the matter in a way that makes sense for both of you.
