Litigation

The traditional approach to settling disputes is litigation.

How Litigation Works

With litigation, each individual hires an attorney to represent her or him regarding the matters in question. For divorce, these typically include the valuation and division of assets, a determination of the liabilities, custody and the allocation of time for each parent with the children, and support whether that is maintenance or child support. While attempts to resolve the case amicably are made, court intervention will be sought if the parties cannot reach agreement.
