Your Options in a Lee County Divorce
A compassionate and experienced divorce attorney guides you through a complex legal process
Any divorce—even an amiable one—is an emotionally-charged experience for the whole family. While friends and family are often ready to offer advice for your situation, it is better if you take their emotional support, but leave legal advice to an experienced Lee County divorce attorney from Whittelsey, Whittelsey & Poole.
A Lee County divorce attorney helps you choose the right form of divorce for your circumstances
The type of divorce you choose largely depends on the ability of you and your spouse to agree on the terms of your divorce. There are two major categories of divorce:
- Contested. You and your spouse may not agree on custodial issues regarding the children, how the marital property should be divided, or whether either spouse needs financial support once the marriage is dissolved. There may also be inequalities in the marriage—or even abuse issues—that make it impossible to settle the terms of divorce fairly without the assistance of a judge. Even though the settlement is decided in court, you need a skilled Lee County divorce attorney to unravel the financial details of the marriage and develop an effective case to support your rights.
- Uncontested. Not every divorce requires a stressful courtroom battle. Even when both spouses are committed to retaining greater control over the terms of their divorce by reaching their own agreement on the settlement issues, disputes are to be expected during negotiations. It is critical to have skilled legal support at your side to ensure all details are considered and your rights are protected throughout the process.
