TO OUR CURRENT
AND FUTURE CLIENTS: WELCOME!
It is our job to ease and assist
you through the difficulties in which you presently find yourself.
The following is a general outline
of procedures common to most divorce (dissolution) or separation
cases:
1. Initial papers filed,
financial papers completed and another meeting held with attorney
within 10-15 days after case started. Initial papers are
usually Summons-Petition and Motion for Temporary Orders or
Support.
2. If temporary orders or
support date is scheduled it is usually 4 to 6 weeks after case
filed because as the Courts are crowded it takes time to get
on the Court's docket.
3. At the first meeting with
the attorney after the case is started we will come up with
a reasonable proposal to make to your spouse and / or his /
her attorney. If we can keep the matter out of Court and
settle the issues through negotiation then it will be a NON-CONTESTED
MATTER and over within 3 to 4 months. If the other side
is not reasonable or fair to you then it will be a CONTESTED
CASE which must be decided by the Judge and will take 6 to 8
months to complete, depending on which County we are in.
