Even a Contested Opelika Divorce Does Not Have to be a Battle

An Opelika divorce attorney from Whittelsey, Whittelsey & Poole can help negotiate many issues

There is no doubt that some divorces are highly contentious.  The issues leading to divorce can cause so much mutual hostility that spouses cannot agree on even minor issues.   In other cases, couples may not be able to get past certain issues, while being fully capable of agreeing to others.

The Opelika divorce law firm of Whittelsey, Whittelsey & Poole is always prepared to protect the rights of our clients in contested divorce.  But we can also help you retain more control over settlement issues by helping you negotiate some of the terms before leaving the other decisions to the court.  While still considered to be contested divorce, the courtroom experience can become less stressful for everyone—and the results may better meet your needs.

Our Opelika divorce law firm can help you find areas of agreement

One great advantage of negotiating out of court is retaining the ability to find customized solutions, rather than leaving decisions to the requirements of Alabama law.  Particularly when it comes to child care issues, only you know what is best for them now and in the future.  Your love for them can make an agreement feasible even when you do not believe it is possible.

The divorce attorneys at Whittelsey, Whittelsey & Poole have the skills and experience to help you explore areas of potential agreement.  We look out for your interests as you negotiate settlement and reduce the number of issues left to the judge.  Even a partially negotiated settlement can dramatically affect the courtroom case, making it less time-consuming—and less stressful for the entire family.
