How Seminole County Divorce Lawyers Can Help You

If you are going through a divorce and decide to retain our superior representation, we will immediately start filing all of the necessary paperwork well before required deadlines. These documents typically involve the distribution of:

  • alimony
  • child custody and child support
  • division of debt
  • property distribution
  • any other shared assets (such as businesses)

Properly filling out such complicated paperwork in a timely fashion is essential, as it can affect the outcome of the case in an irreversible way.

Following this preliminary process, our Seminole County divorce lawyers will build a case tailored to your individual needs and, subsequently, represent you in all necessary legal proceedings, including (not limited to) arbitration, mediation and/or family court.

Factors Affecting The Proceedings & Outcome

The process of divorce is unique for each couple, and different divorce proceedings will vary, depending on:

  • how long the couple was married
  • how much mutual property needs to be divided
  • whether a prenuptial agreement was signed
  • whether child custody is a factor
  • whether debt needs to be divided
  • whether the divorce is contested

A contested divorce refers to the process of dissolving a marriage when divorcing parties can't agree on every issue of their case. In contrast, an uncontested divorce proceeds when parties agree on every factor of the dissolution of their marriage.

Specifically, the divorce proceedings for a contested versus an uncontested divorce differ as follows:

  • In an uncontested divorce, parties are able to dissolve their marriage in quickly and less expensively than in a contested divorce, as both sides have already agreed to all of the issues at hand (i.e. alimony, child custody, division of property, etc.)
  • In a more formal contested divorce, a divorcing party will need to have dissolution documents prepared by our skilled divorce lawyers. After this paperwork is presented to the other party, the responding spouse will have a certain period of time in which to respond. This paperwork, officially referred to as pleadings, lays out the contested issues of the dissolution.
