The divorce rate is at an all-time high. Almost 50 percent of all marriages end in divorce.
Divorce litigation is when a divorcing couple cannot come to a settlement agreement; they need the help of the family court to settle issues regarding child custody, child support, spousal support, and property division.
If you are going through a divorce and planning on having the court settle your disagreements, you should be aware of the following:
- You will spend a lot of money – attorney fees, discovery, trials, phone calls, delays
- If custody is an issue, the court will probably appoint an attorney for your children
- The judge will decide what happens to you and your family; you have no control
- You must return to the court to make any changes in the future
- Your finances are made public
All of these matters impact you and your family, your financial security and your future. If you are going through a divorce, it is important to work with a legal team that can protect your rights.
