Because it can be difficult to navigate the various procedures and accompanying legal requirements, it is wise to trust a dedicated divorce attorney to walk you through this process.
Steadfast representation during settlement negotiations and mediation
Often, the best-case scenario is to reach agreement with your spouse outside of the courtroom. Doing so can lessen the time and money you spend on the divorce, and potentially reduce the level of acrimony between you and your spouse. Reaching a settlement, however, does not mean that you must concede property, assets, or time with your children to which you are rightfully entitled. With more than three decades of collective experience negotiating divorce settlements and representing clients in mediation, our Rockville family law attorneys work tirelessly to secure a favorable final divorce agreement.
Prominent Rockville divorce and family law attorneys with renowned trial experience
While the vast majority of divorce cases settle out of court, there are exceptions. If one spouse disagrees with the alleged grounds for divorce or an agreement cannot be reached on certain issues, it may be necessary to take a divorce case to a merits trial. These trials hinge on the presentation of evidence, so it is important to be represented by a seasoned divorce attorney who frequently advocates on behalf of clients in court. Without an attorney, you risk jeopardizing important rights to property and the custody of your children.
