The divorce lawyer will help lay out the terms regarding child custody, alimony, debt & asset division and other aspects that are generally included in a divorce. However, there are many times when one party contests the terms of the divorce, which means one of the parties involved may get in the way of the dissolution of the marriage by legal means. In plain and simple terms, one of the parties fights over the terms of the divorce because they do not agree with the terms.

Division of Assets and Custody Issues
As humans, we are emotional beings and often as a marriage dissolves, hurt and angry feelings arise getting in the way of coming to terms with the divorce. Tearing down a relationship brings up lots of painful issues and usually addresses material aspects such as asset division, or even harder, custody battles. When a divorce petition is not agreed upon it is called contested. When the partners agree is it uncontested. A contested divorce is one where the two partners cannot agree on several major issues related to the ending of the marriage. Contested divorces are very common since we each have our own perception of a situation. When this occurs, the couple takes their issues to a court where the court decides on the resolution.

Issues Regarding Contested Divorce
The issues that generally arise in a contested divorce typically focus on custody of children and child support, division of assets and property and allocation of debts and alimony. These are all complex issues that involve high financial stakes as well as legal procedures that must be addressed in a court of law. These are issues that speak to the subject of dividing community property, which parent will have custody of the children and how much child support and spousal support should be paid. These are great areas of concern and often require the assistance of a matrimonial lawyer. Free Consultation
The Results of a Contested Divorce
More often than not, a contested divorce will contribute to further resentment, anger and fear, between two people who at one time cared enough to marry and have a family. Unfortunately, while it is common, contested divorces potentially result in a great deal of loss such as loss of business, loss of income, loss of family support, legal bills and pain to the children. The cost of a contested divorce is far more expensive than just money; the cost affects innocent lives and takes a toll on everyone concerned. One of the reasons a pre-nuptial agreement is used is because it may alleviate the possibility of a divorce being contested, but asking someone to sign a pre-nup can cause resentment before the marriage ever gets started.

Hiring a Divorce Attorney for Contested Divorce
It is always recommend that couples seeking a divorce should try to use whatever means possible to resolve these issues without going to court. However, if the spouses hit an impasse and simply cannot work things out on their own, arbitration and mediation, with divorce attorney representation is recommended. Free Consultation
