Given the wide reach of divorce, it’s imperative that yours be handled professionally. In the decades we’ve been practicing law, Gevurtz Menashe has honed skills and racked up experience in numerous areas of family law. This allows us to offer you a range of services before, during, and after your divorce.
Some of the aspects we can help you with include:
Even in the most amicable and seemingly-straightforward divorces, it’s wise to engage a lawyer. Divorces can be complex in so many ways — legally, financially, familially — and unforeseen issues can arise. An attorney can help ensure that your interests are protected, you get your fair share of property, all the proper paperwork is filed, etc. Having a divorce attorney is especially critical if you have children, a high net worth, or involve a military spouse.
The main do’s include learning about the legal process, getting a qualified divorce attorney, following any court orders, getting organized and planning for life afterwards, and maintaining a civil relationship with your spouse. Some big no-nos include letting your emotions sabotage your well-being or actions, forgetting to update legal and financial records and registrations, and involving your children in the divorce proceedings.
Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution approach that doesn’t rely on the court system. Instead, parties and their lawyers collaboratively work to create a fair and acceptable settlement. Litigation involves the courts to help resolve the case.
Yes. However, we recommend that you evaluate your prospective legal representative on more than one single dimension — like success rate, reviews from past clients, standing in the community and industry, and the rapport you feel with the attorney you’ll work with. A high-quality divorce lawyer should be able to pursue the best interests of their client, regardless of the client’s sex or gender.
Even “simple” divorces can have a lasting impact on your life, especially if not handled appropriately. However, when you have a Gevurtz Menashe divorce lawyer working on your case and advocating for you, it will feel easier and your likelihood of achieving a settlement that meets your needs will increase.
