Ways to Resolve a Divorce

No two divorces present the same way. If you and your spouse are willing to cooperate, you may be able to resolve your issues outside of court. This is often a less costly approach than proceeding straight to litigation, which can rack up numerous kinds of legal fees. However, if there is a high level of conflict in your divorce, litigation may be the only option available to you.

In many cases, judges will order a divorcing couple to go to mediation before coming back to court. This allows for couples to discuss the key issues in their divorce in a productive fashion, facilitated by a certified mediator who will work to keep the peace between the spouses. Couples can also choose to attend mediation on their own without the judge's order.

If you are considering mediation, our family law attorneys can act as unbiased mediators to help you resolve your issues efficiently.

Alimony

In divorces with uneven incomes between the spouses, the lower-earning party can petition for a court award of alimony. However, alimony is not given out freely. A judge may consider multiple factors before making a decision on alimony, including:

• How long the marriage lasted
• Each spouse's earning potential
• The time it would take for the dependent spouse to become self-sufficient with enough education or training
• Contributions to the marriage made by each spouse, monetary or otherwise
• The standard of living established during the marriage
• The health of both spouses

At Zide Law Group, LLC, we represent spouses petitioning for or against an order of alimony. We can take a close look at your economic circumstances and make a case to the judge based on your needs. Our lawyers will advocate for you, ensuring that all relevant factors are heard by the court.

High Net Worth Divorce

When a divorcing couple has significant assets to go around, the legal proceedings can become much more complicated, especially when it comes to property division. At Zide Law Group, LLC, our lawyers can help you protect your estate and advocate for a favorable solution.

If you have a premarital or postmarital agreement in place for your high net worth divorce, our attorneys can review the terms closely to see if it holds up in court. Keep in mind that in addition to traditional assets like bank accounts and real estate, you and your spouse may also have to divide up your retirement accounts, investments, business interests, and debts. Our attorneys will argue for a favorable split of your marital property that does not leave you destitute after the divorce is finalized.
