You avoid a “Contested Divorce”.

Every on knows that when the parties getting divorce fight, there must be two lawyers involved.  Each party has one to represent his/her interest.   In contested cases this is an absolute necessity because without a competent lawyer you may find that mistakes are made during the divorce procedure that may cause you or your children permanent harm.  In some cases serious harm.  So a lawyer is necessary in contested cases.  But must the divorce be contested? Usually not. Many of thousands of uncontested divorces are granted each year.   Unless there is great a dispute over assets or support there is no reason why two people cannot reach an agreement and avoid and eliminate the emotional and financial problems that naturally arise when two people argue.

You are in charge of your own divorce.

No matter what anyone says, divorce can be cruel.  When the two parties argue it only serves to inflame the underlying problem that caused the breakup in the first place.  It gets even worse when there are children inv0olved.  No matter how hard you try to hide it, they know what’s happening, even at very tender ages. When a couple has the foresight to work together in a trusting relationship for their  mutual benefit and they are completely informed about the divorce laws and procedures, most divorce issues can be resolved between them. By keeping the decision process away form lawyers and courts the people are able to make logical decisions which will simplify the divorce process.   You have the best understanding of your life and situation.  Nothing can substitute for this knowledge. With careful consideration and friendly relationship between the couple fair and appropriate agreements to resolve your divorce issues can be reached.

Fair Separation Agreements can be reached if the two parties put aside their hostility

We have all heard about the “contested divorce how expensive and heart breaking it can be.  This is the nature of the adversarial method called litigation.  Each side hires a lawyer.  Each lawyers with the help of the client creates the “theory of the case,” This is the theory presented in court.  What is generally does is create a scenario that one party is more at fault then the other.  However, these days, unless you are fighting of children, fault is not much of an issue.  What is important in these contested divorces is the financial division of property.   Whether the parties have a lot of assets or a little asset, litigation becomes expensive because a lawyer, in order to not malpractice, must go through each expensive step in the process whether or not there are no assets.  Before the trial the courts usually have a conference where the two lawyers tell the judge their sides.  The judge always tries to settle the case.  If that is possible then the divorce takes place that day. If it is not possible a date is scheduled for trial.  A long and expensive process.  One in which no one truly wins.  This is why it is so important that the divorcing couple keep an open mind and put hostilities aside.  ON when this is done can an appropriate agreement be reached and the divorce can be processed as “uncontested”   

Animosity and financial strain is reduced if litigation is avoided.

It is the natural result of a litigated divorce that the parties become angry, distrustful, unsure and confused.  It is not farfetched to believe that the tow people can find the middle road and enter into a friendly agreement.  You may actually leave the relationship as friends.  This goal is most important when there’re children involved.  Remember you may be divorcing your spouse, but not your children.  In most cases the parties still have to communicate with each other about the children for many years to come. Active co-parenting requires mutual respect between the parents. Continued litigation and animosity tends to make co-parenting very difficult. A fair thought out settlement always reduces and can even eliminate the bad air between the couple.
