Guiding You Through The Divorce Process In Virginia
Divorce is one of the most emotionally draining legal concerns a person can work through. From making sure you receive a fair property settlement to finding grounds for divorce, there is a seemingly endless list of subjective matters that arise during contested and uncontested divorce matters.
Whether you are seeking a contested or uncontested divorce, it is important to work with a lawyer who can competently guide you through the process. At The Law Offices Of Caroline Ayres, that is exactly what you will find. I have more than two decades of experience working with clients in Charlottesville and Dillwyn and throughout Central and Northern Virginia.
Understanding Your Divorce Options
In Virginia, you can file for a contested or uncontested divorce depending on your circumstances. A contested divorce occurs when the divorcing spouses cannot agree on key issues such as child custody and property division. Contested divorces are often more detailed and expensive and require more involvement than uncontested divorces. A divorce attorney must work with the clients to determine reasonable grounds for divorce, including constructive desertion, adultery, religious beliefs or cruelty.
I do discovery to learn about hidden assets or bank accounts that have been kept secret from one spouse. Using interrogations, admissions and requests for the production of documents, I can gather financial records to help build a stronger case.
In an uncontested divorce, a couple does not need to have grounds for divorce; rather, simply stating incompatibility is enough. Uncontested divorce is typically most appropriate for couples who agree on the grounds of divorce and division of property.
