At The Family Law Group, we understand that divorce and dissolution are life-altering decisions that require skilled legal representation. Whether you’re dealing with a contested divorce or pursuing a dissolution, our experienced attorneys are here to provide guidance and support every step of the way.
Divorce
A divorce begins when one spouse files a legal complaint against the other. This adversarial process often involves multiple court appearances, hearings, and pre-trials. While the court encourages resolution, unresolved issues may require a judge to decide on asset division, support, and parenting responsibilities. Given the emotional and financial toll of litigation, we believe that Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods, such as mediation or collaborative divorce, are preferable, with litigation being a last resort.
Dissolution
For couples seeking an amicable resolution, dissolution is a non-adversarial process that requires a comprehensive Separation Agreement to be finalized before filing. This agreement addresses asset division, support, and health insurance. If children are involved, a Parenting Plan must be completed. Once filed, the court schedules a final hearing within 30 to 90 days, where both spouses testify to the full disclosure of assets and liabilities. Dissolution offers a quicker, less contentious alternative to divorce.
