What can I expect from a divorce/legal separation?

Seeking to divorce from your spouse is never an easy decision it’s difficult under any circumstance. Each divorce action is unique however there is one common theme in all divorce actions and that is the importance of having a general knowledge of the applicable law. Decisions may have to be made in a short time regarding settlement offers, custody and visitation, and distribution of property that can affect the quality of life for you and your children for years to come.

The eight phases of divorce or separation are:

  1. Evaluation
  2. Preparation
  3. Planning
  4. Filing
  5. Negotiating
  6. Settling
  7. Finalization by judge/court
  8. Transition

divorce can be relatively easy, quick, and inexpensive settlement to a vicious battle that lasts years and costs tens of thousands of dollars.  It depends in large part on whether you and your spouse are in dispute over any aspects of the divorce, and if so, over how many and how vehemently.
