Contested Divorce Lawyers
In a contested divorce, unlike an uncontested divorce, the parties cannot agree on one or more issues and need a court to decide those contested issues for them.
The issues involved often include possessions, assets, pensions, retirement, assets, high net worth, complex or difficult-to-divide assets, significant earnings, investment, retirement, pensions, military retirement, child support and visitation, division of property, child support and alimony. It can be very difficult if not impossible for people facing these issues, due to financial concerns, deep beliefs or attachment to settle these issues on their own and the intervention of a third party in the way of a trial court judge to make these decisions for them in necessary.
