Why Can't I Just Settle My Divorce On My Own?

Choosing to file for divorce on your own places you at a disadvantage. Without proper legal representation, you run the risk of walking away with a less than favorable outcome. Most people do not have sufficient knowledge of the legal system to know how to navigate it properly.

What Is The Difference Between A Contested And An Uncontested Divorce?

A contested divorce is one where the divorcing couple cannot come to an agreement on matters such as child custody, child support, spousal support, and equitable distribution. These divorces tend to be lengthy and emotionally draining. Uncontested divorces are just the opposite - divorcing couples can come to an amicable agreement on how to settle their divorce.

How Much Child Support Will I Be Able To Get?

It is impossible to know exactly how much child support you will be awarded. When determining child support cases, courts will take into consideration a variety of factors, such as the child's needs, the financial circumstances of each parent, and the child's standard of living before the divorce, to name a few.

Is It True That My Spouse Is Entitled To My Retired Military Pension?

Yes. Under the Uniformed Services Former Spouse Protection Act (USFSPA), spouses can claim up to half of a retired service member's military pension. Certain factors are taken into consideration, however, such as the duration of the marriage and the duration of the military member's service.
