Despite our best efforts to simplify the divorce process, sometimes it is necessary to employ an attorney as a representative in divorce. Sometimes one of the parties is reluctant to seek resolution to the divorce outside the courtroom. Other times the parties' communication has deteriorated to the point that direct negotiation and mediation are not possible. Representation may even be useful in mediation, although it is not possible to employ both a mediator and an attorney from the same organization, for obvious reasons of conflict of interest. The Center recommends to our clients that they have their documents reviewed by an attorney before finalizing their divorce action.
Legal representation in divorce requires both strong advocacy and a recognition that unbridled litigation may unnecessarily deplete the parties' resources. Moreover, unlike a contract dispute or personal injury case, the disputing parties may be required to work together for many years following the divorce, particularly if there are young children involved. A Center for Divorce Solutions always keeps in mind the fact that all the monies that go to pay lawyers essentially come from the pockets of the children. Balancing this need for zealous advocacy with reasonableness is the Center's primary goal in its referral of clients in divorce and post-decree disputes.
A Center for Divorce Solutions allows you to choose and control just how much professional involvement there will be in your divorce.
