Divorce Litigation in Arlington, VA
If you’re considering divorce, it’s vital to understand that you have multiple legal options available, one of which is litigation. A litigated divorce is the traditional method most people think of when they picture divorce proceedings: each spouse hires an attorney to represent their case in front of a judge. However, contrary to popular belief, litigation isn’t always carried out in court. In fact, most cases are settled outside the courtroom.
Graham Law Firm, PLLC has experience helping couples who are struggling during this difficult time. We do our best to make the process as comfortable as possible and work closely with our clients to reach a favorable settlement.
For help carrying out a unilateral or hostile divorce, please contact Graham Law Firm, PLLC to take advantage of our tried-and-true litigation skills.
When Is Divorce Litigation the Right Choice?
Before jumping into a litigated divorce, consider that it’s among the lengthier, costlier divorce methods. This can take its toll on your children, extended family, and other loved ones. That being said, litigation could be necessary if your spouse is hostile or unreasonable, or the two of you simply can’t agree on the terms of your divorce.
The most common circumstances that lead to divorce litigation include:
- Debt distribution
- Asset division
- Child custody
- Child visitation
- Child support
- Alimony payments (amount and duration)
How to Choose Your Arlington Divorce Litigator
The prospect of getting a divorce is overwhelming enough without also needing to make the difficult decision of which litigator to hire. Fortunately, it should be easy to tell if you’ve found a qualified litigator during the initial consultation with each prospective attorney. He or she should make you feel comfortable but not offer too many promises. He or she should also come across as attentive and professional rather than hurried or distracted.
To help you further pinpoint an attorney’s ability to litigate on your behalf, you should inquire about his or her experience, techniques, and aptitude for handling complex divorce cases. You should leave the consultation feeling confident about your choice and having a reasonable expectation of what the outcome of your case will be.
