What Are the Different Types of Divorce?
Our firm represents clients undergoing all types of divorces, including:
Contested Divorce
A contested divorce is the traditional path to dissolution that requires court intervention. Contested divorces are mandatory for couples who cannot reach a mutual agreement on their own. While some cases proceed to litigation, they can also be resolved through out-of-court settlements or complementary dispute resolution (CDR) methods.
Uncontested Divorce
An uncontested divorce is only available to couples who agree on every aspect of their divorce, including complex matters like child custody, child support, alimony, and property division. Uncontested dissolutions are typically faster, more affordable, and less stressful than a contested divorce, but may not be suitable for every couple.
Same-Sex Divorce
Although same-sex divorces follow the same legal framework as other divorces, they often involve unique considerations regarding parental rights, non-biological parent custody, adoption history, and assets acquired before marriage equality. Our firm is experienced in navigating these nuances and advocating for equitable resolutions.
Divorce Mediation
Mediation is a CDR process where a neutral third-party mediator helps both spouses work through key issues in a structured and respectful environment. It is often more cost-effective, private, and efficient. Divorce mediation can be mandated by the court or chosen by the couple. Our team includes a certified mediator with extensive experience in guiding clients toward fair agreements.
