Traditional Court Divorce

• Want an attorney to negotiate for you?
• Don't want to roll over to unreasonable demands?
• Not talking with your spouse?
• Can't trust your spouse with financial disclosures?
• Want an edge?
• Need an attorney to protect your rights?
• Prefer to let the judge decide?

Then you are seeking a traditional "court" divorce proceeding where each party prefers to use an attorney to defend or argue his or her own position, a lawyer to lawyer negotiation.  If so, understand that the judge will make all decisions with limited time to hear your case unless you request lengthy hearings.

Characteristics of Traditional Court Divorce

• Process is guided by the Law
• The Judge makes all the decisions
• Emphasizes positioning
• Entrusting your attorney to be your voice
• Is adversarial, conflict based
• Unpredictable cost and time
• Public (in the courtroom) and public record
• Avoid agreeing to things you don't think are fair
• Force the other side to prove their case

How Traditional Court Divorce Works

In a traditional divorce, there is a hierarchical structure in place to deal with the divorce dispute. Lawyers are front and center representing you to the Judge. You personally have no interaction with the Judge to make your point.  Your lawyer advocates your position to the Judges and negotiates with the opposing lawyer.
