COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

  • Will I Have to Attend a Divorce Trial?

    Most divorce cases are settled out of court. Still, there are times when going to trial is the only way to discover hidden assets or obtain a fair outcome. 

  • Will I Have to Attend Mediation Sessions?

    Probably. To relieve the backlogged court system, all couples getting a divorce must first try to resolve their issues during mediation before entering litigation. During mediation, a neutral third-party mediator tries to foster compromise and communication so an agreement can be reached on all terms of the divorce. 

  • Will I Have to Attend Parenting Education Classes?

    Yes. If you have a dispute involving time-sharing or parental responsibility, you and the other party will have to attend a four (4) long virtual parenting education class. 

  • Can We Use the Same Lawyer?

    Many people involved in family law disputes want to save money by using the same lawyer. Unfortunately, this cannot happen. A lawyer represents the best interests of their client and working for two opposing parties creates a conflict of interest. Each party must obtain their own legal counsel.
