Contested Divorce: You NEED A Lawyer!

Updated: Sep 27, 2022

Divorce and separation can be difficult to go through. It's a time of change, and it often involves the end of a relationship. Whether you're the person who initiates the split or not, it's hard to know what to do next. You might be tempted to handle things yourself, without a lawyer—but if you don't have experience with family law and divorce proceedings, this can be a disaster!

If you need help with a divorce or separation, calling an experienced divorce attorney is your best move. Let the attorney guide you and handle the process, so you can get on with your life.





When you go through a divorce, you’ll want to make sure you're getting the best possible outcome. It's not just about the money—it's about the emotional and psychological effects of the breakup. A lawyer can help you navigate those uncharted waters and answer your questions so that you can make informed decisions about your future. Doing this will make you sleep better at night.

It's important to note that when we say "lawyer," we're not just talking about anyone who practices law, we’re talking about an attorney who specializes in divorce and family law.

The right lawyer is an expert at navigating the legal system, which means they can help you understand how it works, how it may relate to your individual situation, and what options are available for you moving forward. They will also be able to answer any questions or concerns you may have about specific issues related to divorce or separation—such as child custody or property division—and help guide you through them in order to achieve an outcome that is to your satisfaction.

It's hard not to get emotional when you're going through a divorce or separation, but if you want custody of your children, then you need to leave them out of this as much as possible. You don't want them getting caught up in your drama—it will only make things worse for everyone involved when they get older and remember how their parents acted during this time period. 2) Make sure you have an attorney who knows what they're doing! This isn't something you should take lightly—your life will change drastically when your relationship ends, so make sure that the person representing you has experience with these kinds of cases and knows what they're doing when it comes time for negotiations or court appearances. 3) Don't try to hide money from each other before filing for divorce or separation; if either partner does this then


When you're going through a divorce or separation, it’s difficult to know where to start. The best place to start is with a free consultation in person or over zoom.


It’s important that every detail of your case is handled correctly—and that's why you should carefully interview your prospective attorney to make sure they are the right fit. One good way to challenge them is to ask a difficult question and see how they respond. Do they sound knowledgeable about your situation? If so, you may have a good fit.
