Are you facing a divorce in Louisville or the surrounding communities or counties? It is important to have a strategy for your Louisville divorce and each of the important issues you will face.
Divorce isn’t simply a matter of filing some paperwork and waiting to see what happens. There is simply too much at stake, even when the parties are in agreement on most issues within the divorce itself. You may have required months or even years to make the decision to divorce. Now it is important to meet the experienced, proven divorce and family law attorneys at Dodd and Dodd. There are many important decisions to be made. You will need strategies for not only the important issues in your divorce, but for how you will handle communications and even carry yourself in Court and throughout the process.
Many of our clients believe they know what their soon-to-be former spouse wants and even how they will decide important matters in the divorce. The divorce attorneys at Dodd & Dodd have decades of experience in Louisville area divorce cases. We can share many important insights from this extensive knowledge, and the first is that former spouses tend to surprise you once the divorce is in process. Things change. Even if you’ve discussed a matter and believe you have an agreement.
Why is it important to have a strategy for your Louisville divorce? This isn’t one big issue, it is a combination platter of many smaller and inter-related issues. In order for your divorce to be completed, every aspect of the divorce from child custody and visitation to the division of marital assets including the equity in your home, business ownership or retirement accounts and pensions must be completed. It is more common than not for our clients to hear a former spouse say “well, I’ve changed my mind about….”
How will you manage communications? What impact will communications between you and your former spouse have upon your divorce? One of the things about a divorce that surprises many of our clients is how closely the Judge is observing each party at every step in the process. How you handle yourself in and out of Court will make a genuine difference in the outcome of your divorce and accomplishment of your goals.
For example, assume that everything you text or e-mail and every voicemail you leave to your former spouse [and even your child(ren)] will be seen by the Judge and become part of the permanent, public record of your divorce. If you don’t want your extended family, friends, co-workers, church family or even children to read it or hear it then don’t write it or voicemail it, and most certainly don’t post it to social media.
The experienced family law and divorce lawyers at Dodd & Dodd will help you to plan, communicate and have a strategy for your Louisville divorce case.
