Contested or Adversarial Divorce

Regardless of how much in love a couple was when they walked down the aisle on their wedding day, few couples are willing to part ways in a friendly manner.

Contested divorce turns husbands and wives into adversaries as their attorneys do battle in sometimes lengthy and expensive courtroom litigation, arguing over property distribution, children’s issues, and alimony or spousal support.

Contested divorce (also known as adversarial divorce) can be costly, time-consuming, and stressful for everyone involved, regardless of the outcome.

In a contested divorce, each person is represented by his or her own attorney.
