The first consultation with a lawyer is quite often the most difficult step. But, it is also just as often the most important step to take to make the decisions necessary for your future and the future of your family.
Over my 30 years of practicing law, the perspective that I have routinely offered all of my clients is that marriages are ordinarily worth saving in the absence of extreme circumstances such as a serious pattern of domestic violence and/or an established pattern of substance abuse. Five years from now, you want to be able to look back with confidence that you did everything you reasonably could to save your marriage.
Assuming you have made all of the necessary and appropriate efforts at reconciliation, and assuming further that those efforts have failed, the next issue revolves around whether an uncontested divorce can be successfully negotiated with the advice and assistance of an experienced divorce attorney. The team at Michael T. Mahoney, Ltd., can help.
You Need 30 Years of Experience on Your Side
Do not make the mistake of thinking that you can successfully negotiate your own settlement, then march into your spouse's attorney's office to sign papers without risking serious, unintended consequences. It may be too late to undo the damage after the judge approves the uncontested Judgment for Dissolution of Marriage.
Whether to sign an uncontested Judgment for Dissolution of Marriage may be the most important decision that you ever make. Take that step only after consulting with an experienced domestic relations attorney.
We have represented thousands of clients in this collaborative divorce situation over the past 30 years. Call us with confidence that you are making the right decision to protect your future and the future of your family.
