Divorce? We Handle
Thinking of getting a divorce?
If you’re thinking about getting divorced, it is important that you be knowledgeable about your finances. Do you know what your spouse is earning? What is your money being spent on? Where are your assets located, and what are they worth? Are there liabilities in joint names that you might be on the hook for?
At Advanta law, we pride ourselves on delivering top-notch legal services to our clients no matter if it’s a simple divorce or a complex case with a number of legal issues to hash out between the parties.
Divorce never easy, but an uncontested divorce can make for less hostility and less time in court, especially if the divorce is handled by an experienced Michigan Uncontested Divorce Attorney. The couple has already agreed upon parameters within the divorce decrees, and they simply must file the paperwork and begin the divorce proceedings. The majority of uncontested divorces have the following characteristics:
No children
No real estate
No joint bank accounts
No assets
No claim for alimony/spousal support/maintenance
No claim for attorneys fees
No claim against any advanced or professional degrees
No claim for health insurance or life insurance
Divorce is almost by definition an antagonistic process, and virtually any aspect of the agreement can cause complications. However, some factors more commonly lead to contested cases than others, including:
Business interests
Prenuptial agreements
Determining spousal support (alimony);
Arranging child custody and visitation;
Children with special needs
Children from a previous marriage
Division of pensions through a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO)
Property like real estate, stocks, pensions, art, and antiques
