Some couples are fortunate enough to work through a divorce amicably, agreeing on how to fairly distribute marital assets and assign debts, determine child custody and support, and even agree on whether alimony will be paid (and how much). But, at Olivero Law, P.A., we’ve found that these cases are infrequent. Most divorcing couples stick on at least one major point of divorce; if this is you, then you are going through a contested divorce and can benefit from an experienced Valrico, FL, contested divorce lawyer.
Even if both spouses agree that a divorce is best, they may disagree over what constitutes separate or community property, who would be best to raise the children, and who deserves spousal support. Our attorneys are ready to support your side of the divorce and can fight to achieve the best possible outcome in your divorce decree. Contact us today—your entire future and happiness are at stake.
In a contested divorce, the goal is to separate from your spouse and negotiate a divorce decree that sets you up for a positive future. A contested divorce attorney is your legal advocate, someone who understands what is and is not possible per Florida divorce laws and can fight hard to ensure you have plenty of time with your children, are supported financially if you sacrificed your career to help your spouse and preserve everything that you’ve worked so hard for.
We provide clarity in the emotional situations that often accompany a contentious divorce and soothe your worries and fears. We can also set legal protections in place for your money and other assets, preventing the other spouse from illicitly taking things you’re entitled to. We can also help protect your safety and that of your children if you’re worried about retaliation or otherwise fear your soon-to-be ex.
Many times, contested divorces boil down to negotiations between the two parties. We can represent you in mediation sessions, helping you stay focused on resolution, not going back and forth about who did what. We know there may be a lot of resentment, and the other party has just as much interest in their desired outcome as yours. We may help you develop a “good, better, best” outcome and focus on what matters most to you. We’re tenacious, we know Florida family and divorce law well, including case law, and we’re ready to bring all this to bear in your favor.
You may not feel comfortable talking to your spouse, especially if there is underlying resentment in the divorce. As your legal representative, your Valrico contested divorce lawyer can communicate with the other spouse on your behalf. We’ll shield you so you can start putting the pieces of your life back together and move forward confidently.
