San Diego Uncontested Divorce Lawyers
When both parties agree on everything, from property division to child custody and support, the divorce is considered uncontested. While uncontested divorces never see the inside of the courtroom, both sides still require representation from a lawyer. As your lawyers, we will take great care to review all details of your divorce with you to make certain you are moving forward in a direction that truly makes sense for you.
In many cases, people think they have an uncontested divorce at first. Then they learn about something that was previously overlooked such as the distribution of debts or retirement accounts. Disputes arise. An uncontested divorce becomes contested.
San Diego Contested Divorce Attorneys
Our attorneys are comfortable and experienced in the courtroom. We know how to build strategies designed to achieve positive outcomes in front of a judge. However, we also know that resolving a contested divorce in court can be stressful and time consuming.
There are California attorneys out there who are willing to play off the emotions of the divorcing parties, intentionally exacerbating issues and spurring disputes. There are attorneys who will force cases to stretch out months more than necessary, rather than following the family code and facilitating a settlement agreement. We never encourage disputes. When they arise naturally, we are prepared to resolve them, but we take great care to present our clients with all available options to ensure that each case is taken in the right direction. We are as adept at resolving contested divorces through settlement agreements as we are at trial.
