Contested Divorce

Experienced Los Angeles, California, Area Divorce Lawyers

When you know that you are facing a contested divorce, it is essential to form a plan that accounts for your priorities and best interests. But where do you begin? Contact our law office for information on your rights under California law and to begin developing a plan of action.

A contested divorce does not necessarily mean you will be involved in months or years of litigation. Nor does it mean you will have to take a highly aggressive stance on your rights and goals in divorce court — but it can. If your divorce runs the risk of becoming both prolonged and contentious, your choice of family law attorney can make a significant difference.

Child Custody — Spousal Support — Property Division

The range of issues that can be disputed in a contested divorce is almost limitless. Moreover, even if you are able to reach an amicable agreement on child custody and visitation, for example, issues such as spousal support — sometimes called alimony — or property division can still be difficult to settle.

Our family law attorneys would always prefer to be able to efficiently negotiate a settlement that works for both parties — saving everyone anxiety, time and money. In fact, we encourage resolution of your issues through mediation and collaborative law whenever possible. However, when your future happiness hangs in the balance, we believe in standing strong and taking all available measures to fulfill your needs — including going to court.

Providing the Personal Attention and Strategic Help You Need

We strive to treat every client in a way that suits that individual's unique personality. For example:

• If you come to us with a plan of action, having thought through steps you wish to take in your divorce, we will respect and support that plan vigorously.
• If you need patience and understanding, along with a clear outline of your options, our lawyers will gladly provide this information.

Our approach is to truly listen and understand your goals so that we can counsel where necessary, make sound recommendations and fight for your interests in the areas that matter most to you. If this is the type of representation you are looking for in your contested divorce or other matter, please contact the Law Offices of Scott Warmuth, A Professional Corporation today.
