When it comes to divorce, a trial is not always necessary. Even if you and your spouse disagree on issues like property division, child custody, and support, you are not required to go in front of a judge to resolve them. In fact, you can save a lot of time and money by settling out of court divorce in Fresno. Not only that, you and your spouse, rather than a judge, get to determine the terms of agreement on every issue.
Consult with an experienced divorce attorney to determine whether you can begin resolving out of court divorce in Fresno.
Mediation
In mediation, an impartial party (the mediator) helps contending spouses talk through their issues and come to an agreement they can both accept. Mediators do not force or influence decisions. They are more like counselors than judges.
Mediators can be found in the local telephone directory or on the internet. You may also contact an appropriate community organization, the local bar association, or the local court to find a qualified mediator.
Collaborative Divorce
In a collaborative divorce, you and your spouse each work with specially trained lawyers who assist and advise you in negotiating a settlement agreement. Relevant experts can also be brought in to support your case. The goal is to approach an agreement, making a trial divorce unnecessary.
If you decide to go with this process, it is absolutely essential that you hire a reliable attorney who has plenty of experience facilitating collaborative divorces.
