Divorce Cases

Divorce is a method of terminating a marriage contract between two individuals, but in reality, it is so much more. Divorce is often emotionally, physically, and financially draining.

There is no specific rule on how long the divorce process lasts. In general, it is rare for it to reach a full and complete conclusion in less than one year, and some cases can remain pending for two years or more.
The length and complexity of a divorce case are often directly related to the issues and the parties’ willingness to work collaboratively and reasonably to achieve a just and fair resolution.
Once you define your goals in the divorce process, many tools are available to help you reach those goals. These tools include non-adversarial methods of negotiation and mediation, as well as the adversarial method of litigation.
Our goal is to help you navigate the divorce process in the most healthy and positive way possible, given your particular circumstances. This will allow you to move forward and build your future, leaving the past behind.
