Frequently Asked Questions

In most cases, no. If the divorce is uncontested and paperwork is correct, it can be granted without either party attending. We handle the entire process for you.
The court considers each party's financial and non-financial contributions, future needs, and the overall fairness of the proposed split. We help negotiate a fair outcome.
Parenting arrangements can be agreed between parties or ordered by the court. The primary consideration is always the best interests of the children.
