FAMILY LAW

The end of a marriage is an emotionally trying time for everyone involved. A person who is contemplating divorce is generally anxious, nervous, and frightened about their future and, if children are involved, the future of their family.

Many divorces end in a reasonably peaceful manner; however, many divorces do not. The end of a marriage is generally the beginning of many legal issues which include but are not limited to spousal support, child custody, child support, and property distribution. Often, a couple cannot agree to the terms of the divorce or to the many ancillary matters that are typically consequential to the dissolution of a marriage.

Marriages fall apart for many different reasons including communication breakdowns, infidelity, disputes over money, drug and / or alcohol abuse, physical, mental, or emotional abuse or because the spouses just simply grow apart. When the decision that a marriage cannot be salvaged is made, the most responsible option for everyone involved is typically to file for divorce.

A divorce and matters ancillary to a divorce can be complicated for many different reasons. Therefore, it is important to note that proceeding unrepresented (“pro se”) can be dangerous. If your spouse has retained an attorney, it is especially dangerous to proceed unrepresented.
