Of all the family law issues, divorce is often the most emotionally charged. Divorcing parents usually want their children with them, and both parties want to keep the family home. Resolving these matters can be intense and complicated. At Parker & Montgomery, we can make the divorce process as peaceful and effective as possible.

Divorce is the legal process by which a marriage is terminated. While this happens through a divorce decree issued by a judge, talking about and resolving all the related issues can be complicated. In a divorce proceeding, the parties must either come to agreement about the following issues:
- Child custody and visitation arrangements
- Child support payments
- Spousal support, also called alimony or maintenance
- Marital property and debt division
In most divorce cases, both parties and their children are best served by a voluntary and peaceful agreement on these issues. Our lawyers are skilled mediators and can assist families in out-of-court dispute resolution and mediation.
Another option for divorcing parties is collaborative law, where both sides agree to reach a settlement out-of-court with their attorneys' acting more as advisors and resources rather than litigators. Making a good faith attempt through either collaborative law or mediation is often the best option for your family.
If you are your ex-spouse are unable to reach a settlement or come to agreement, out attorneys are skilled in litigation and protecting our clients' best interests in court. While we strive to resolve divorce matters out of court, we are able and experienced in fighting for our clients at trial if necessary.
