Divorce is a method of terminating a marriage contract between two individuals, but in reality is so much more. Divorce is often emotionally, physically, and financially draining. There is no specific rule on how long the divorce process lasts. In general, it is rare for the divorce process to reach a full and complete conclusion in less than one year, and some cases can remain pending for two years or more. The length and complexity of a divorce case is often directly related to the issues and the willingness of the parties to work collaboratively and reasonably with one another to achieve a just and fair resolution. Once you define your goals in the divorce process, there are many tools available to help you reach those goals. These tools include non-adversarial methods of negotiation and mediation, as well as, the adversarial method of litigation. Our goal is to help you navigate through the divorce process in the most healthy and positive way possible under your particular circumstances, so that you can move forward and build your future leaving the past behind.
