Family legal matters may range from the simple modification of an agreed-upon parenting time schedule to a complex divorce proceeding and trial. All family matters proceed through the judicial system in one of two ways with slight variations. An uncontested matter means that parties to an action have been able to resolve their differences and have entered into an agreement, which then becomes a court order binding the parties. A contested family matter, however, involves more complex proceedings that may require many court appearances, depositions, custody experts, valuation experts or business valuation experts. If a contested matter is not resolved by the parties, then the end result is a trial with the court deciding the contested issues and issuing an order. Every family legal matter is fact dependent. Your family legal matter is unique to your circumstances. To that end, we offer levels of service to meet your specific legal needs in all areas of family law whether your matter is an uncontested settlement agreement or a dispute that may result in a contested legal action.
