What if my spouse and I don’t agree about how to resolve certain issues?

In some cases, divorcing spouses may simply not be able to reach a conclusion on some or all of the related issues. Such cases are handled through the court system, similar to other litigation. It is important for a person who is getting divorced to enter that process with a strategy. That includes determining what’s on the table in terms of child custody, child support, and alimony. It also means drawing up a full list of assets and debts, along with their value. Finally, it’s important to understand your priorities going into the divorce process and to try to anticipate your former spouse’s priorities. A seasoned family lawyer will sit down with you and thoroughly consider these issues, crafting the most powerful strategy that best suits your individual circumstances and needs.
