Divorce Settlement Agreements

Most divorce cases are resolved through a settlement agreement between the spouses and their attorney before a trial takes place. This is the most beneficial way in which to finalize the divorce process. Our approach is geared towards minimizing legal proceedings, which will save you time, money, attorney's fees, and the harmful effects of adversarial litigation on you, your spouse, and your family. Divorce is a difficult, often traumatic experience for many people without compounding it with a protracted, bitter, and expensive legal battle.

A settlement agreement may be used when the spouses are able to work out their property disputes. It may also be a comprehensive document which covers the other issues involved, such as child custody and financial support. Regardless of the issues it delineates, it can be submitted to the court and become incorporated into the divorce decree, which will make it legally binding.
