Divorce, Child Custody, Maintenance/Alimony, and Distribution of Marital Property
Explanation of the Divorce Case Process:
Simple Divorce Cases (Both Parties Agree):
- Both parties agree to divorce and there are no contentious issues such as alimony or child custody.
- We will use the “Quick Paper Application for Divorce” to try to get the court to approve the divorce quickly.
- In this case, it is usually possible to obtain a temporary divorce order from the court within 6-7 months, so that you can resolve the divorce matters as soon as possible.
Contested Divorce Cases:
- Including contentious issues such as child custody and alimony.
- Our lawyers have extensive practical legal experience and skills and will provide feasible solutions to resolve disputes, especially those related to child custody and alimony.
- It should be noted that more disputes mean that the time spent will be longer and the lawyer’s fees will also increase accordingly.
- The court generally encourages spouses to reach a settlement agreement, so it is important for you to have your own views and evidence to support your position.
This process can help you better understand the procedures and choices available in different situations in a divorce case. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to contact our lawyers, and we will do our best to support you.
