Divorce Doesn't Have to Be a Battle

The process of divorce can often create a stressful and emotional environment for everyone involved. That type of environment, when dealt with incorrectly, can cause the process of your divorce to be longer than is needed or is intended. As a result, you may end up having to spend more money on legal representation and court fees as you battle back and forth.

On the other hand, if you can approach the situation in an open and accommodating way, you will find that compromises can be reached more efficiently and money can often be saved instead of wasted on needless legal proceedings. No matter the state of your marriage or the reason behind your divorce, an effective family law attorney can help you and your spouse find a resolution.

With divorce comes the need for a full-service divorce attorney, collaborative attorney, or mediator that can help. If children are involved, it may be necessary to develop comprehensive child support and child custody plans that will prioritize your child's best interests. Additionally, you may seek services to help with spousal support and property division. If you prefer to settle your divorce out of court, a marriage settlement agreement could be the best option for you.

No one wants the process of finalizing a divorce to be difficult or for it to take longer than necessary. Cook Law & Mediation Services offers free consultations, so if you live in Wexford, Franklin Park, or the greater Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area, schedule a case evaluation today!
