Lightly Contested Divorce
As an attorney that practices family law, I encounter varying degrees of acrimony
between parties. However, there are times when there is minimal acrimony and the
parties arrive at a mutual decision that divorce is the best option. This does not
mean that the parties agree on every issue or that they have thought of all of the
things that must be determined when a divorce occurs but they have arrived at the
decision that a divorce is the path that they are taking.
We call these divorces “lightly contested divorces.” Held Law Firm will only
represent one party in a divorce. However, for lightly contested divorces, it is
recognized that it is unlikely that litigation will occur. Based on our experience,
these type of divorces will reach a resolution with some negotiation and exchange of
documentation to provide adequate disclosure of assets and debts.
How do you know if you have a lightly contested divorce?
Do you have minor children and have you agreed on a custodial arrangement that is best for the children?
Do you own a home and have you agreed if one of you is going to keep it or if it is going to be sold?
Do you feel knowledgeable about the finances of your family in terms of assets and debts?
Have you and your spouse agreed to divorce?
If you have answered yes to these questions, then you may have a lightly contested
divorce.
Please call Held Law Firm to schedule a consultation. We are always ready to help smooth your new pathway!
