What is the value of and why do you need an experienced Louisville divorce attorney? Why should you hire an attorney to represent you in your divorce?
The first part of the answer to these questions comes down to the unique aspects of your unique divorce. Do you have children? Do you own your home? Do you have substantial investments, high income, or own a business? Do you and/or your spouse have any retirement accounts such as an IRA or 401(k) or a pension such as KTRS or a pension, such as those managed by the Kentucky Public Pension Authority? Do you have a controlling spouse or does your spouse have a personality disorder such as narcissism?
How do you value your time? Do you wish to keep costs down while accomplishing your goals in the divorce? If there is a way to reduce the stress and emotional burden of the divorce and is that of interest to you?
The State of Kentucky recently confirmed that the majority of divorces were filed by the parties themselves. Why is it less than half of those who begin their divorce on their own complete their divorce without an attorney?
One of the primary reasons you need an experienced Louisville divorce attorney is revealed in the truest nature of a divorce:
The time it takes to complete your divorce and the amount it is going to cost is directly associated with the level of disagreement between you and your (former) spouse, and your ability to work through areas of disagreement to reach agreement or a settlement.
This is why you need an experienced Louisville divorce attorney. We help our clients to protect their goals and objectives while working to resolve areas of disagreement and reach agreement or a settlement on the matter.
In order for your divorce to be completed there must be complete resolution on every aspect of the divorce including but not limited to the division of community property and the family home, child custody and visitation or parenting time, child support and Maintenance, the division of assets such as business ownership as well as allocation of retirement assets.
The majority of those who seek a divorce in Kentucky are not able to resolve the issue(s) above without guidance, help or an appearance before a mediator or a Louisville Family Law Court (the most time consuming and expensive option of all).
Our attorneys have represented clients in these legal venues for decades. This experience informs the conversations we have with our clients and the advice and counsel we offer. It is reflected in our negotiation skill and the diversity of options and strategies we are able to share in order to help resolve issues in dispute.
How do you value your time? Those without an attorney must take large blocks of time off of work to go to the courthouse, stand in line, research paperwork and make court appearances. Unfortunately, in many of these court appearances the judge must admonish the parties for lack of preparation, as well as incomplete or unenforceable paperwork. This results in more time off work to get paperwork rewritten and in proper format and yet another court appearance, each time.
Part of the value of experience in Louisville divorce is the peace of mind you will experience working with us throughout the process. What is peace of mind worth to you? Our clients consistently write to us to thank us for helping them through the process and putting them in a position of empowerment and strength moving forward. Divorce doesn’t have to be a heated battle. In fact, several large studies have shown the more a party in a divorce takes part in developing the resolution of an issue the less likely it is that issue will be contested in post-decree litigation down the road.
We help our clients to minimize the emotional burden while working to protect their best interests and accomplish their goals and objectives. We work proactively and positively to recommend solutions, negotiate resolution to areas of disagreement and help the parties to find common ground and move the divorce to completion. The skills they learn along the way help to prepare those with children for the give-and-take of co-parenting after the divorce is completed.
How do you keep cost down and move through a divorce in a timely manner? The greatest source of “cost” in a divorce (both in terms of money and emotions) as well as time is disagreement. All disagreement must be completely resolved, one way or another, before a divorce can be granted.
