Divorce Litigation: When is it Necessary and How Does it Work?

Divorce litigation is complicated. You should understand what each party wants before going to court. Some people need to go to court to get a fair settlement.

Divorce litigation is a method used to resolve divorce disputes. Parties may choose this option if they cannot agree on how to divide up assets or debts. Litigation is expensive and stressful, so parties should consider whether litigation is right for them.

Divorce litigation is often necessary if the two parties cannot agree on how to settle the case. Attorneys may use a power-based negotiating style as opposed to an interest-based negotiating style. A power-based negotiating style is when lawyers are geared towards litigation and winning a fight. An interest-based negotiating style is centered around satisfying each party’s main goals.

In some cases, you should try to resolve disputes before going to court. This could save time and money. However, if you need to go to court because you feel you have no other choice, then you should do what you can to win. You may lose, but you'll get more satisfaction out of it than doing nothing.

Litigation is expensive and time-consuming. Most people think of it as a trial in front of a judge. But litigation includes other options such as mediation or negotiation. Litigation is a legal process that involves filing lawsuits to enforce your rights. Your spouse may file a lawsuit against you if he/she believes that you owe him/her money. A judge will rule whether you owe the money or not. Divorce cases take a long time to settle because there are many factors involved. A judge may change schedules, and parties may try to delay things by filing motions. This means that the case could drag on for months or even years. Divorce proceedings move slowly because there are many documents involved. A court trial takes time to settle. Negotiated settlements take less time than court trials but more time than informal negotiations.

Anger and conflict tend to reach a boiling point during litigation. People usually dig in and throw emotional/financial hand grenades at each other. Divorce is a very emotional process. A lot of people get divorced because they want to end a relationship that isn't working out. There are many reasons why couples get divorced but there are also many reasons why two people decide to stay together. Sometimes, it is because they love each other and they want to spend the rest of their lives together. Other times, it is because they feel like they need to provide for their children or take care of elderly parents. Whatever the reason, divorce is never easy. However, when you know what to expect, it can be easier to deal with. If you are going through a divorce, you should know that most of them do not go to trial. Instead, most of them settle out of court. This means that you won't have to face your ex-spouse in court, and you won't have to pay lawyer's fees. You will still have to give up certain things, such as property, but you will not have to fight over custody, visitation, alimony, child support, or spousal maintenance.

Selecting an attorney can be one of the most difficult decisions a person has to make. In what seems like an overwhelming sea of attorneys who do you choose? Are they qualified, compassionate, and are they willing to fight for you without compromising their integrity? When faced with this decision in 2016 I received this and more when I retained Rahlita Thornton as my attorney. Since 2016 she has represented me on several court cases and I've never been disappointed. She is well versed and very knowledgeable on many aspects of the law. Attorney Thornton and her staff work diligently to ensure no stone is left unturned and justice is served. When I was crippled with fear, bullied, and felt like giving up she was my voice. She is highly recommend and I'm truly blessed to have her in my life. TTW
