Why an Amicable Divorce?

Why should you consider an amicable divorce as opposed to a contested divorce in family court? There is no question that the legal end of a marriage can be a complicated and stressful process. It may threaten to destroy any remaining friendship that you and your spouse have and may put a strain on your children. In these difficult times, there are numerous benefits to completing an uncontested divorce or undergoing  divorce mediation in order to avoid a courtroom divorce. As an experienced Orange County divorce attorney, I can assist you with the approach that is best for your unique situation.

An amicable divorce may offer you, your spouse and your children various advantages. This type of divorce generally can be completed in less time than a courtroom divorce and is significantly less expensive. This is particularly true in an uncontested divorce, where you and your spouse have agreed upon all issues related to the divorce action: child custody, visitation, child support, spousal support and property division.

In addition to saving you time and money, an amicable divorce can save you undue stress. In general, avoiding a court trial can help you maintain a workable relationship with your spouse. It can also keep your children from having to see a trial or witness nasty arguments as you fight tooth and nail to seek the outcome you are hoping for. You, your children and your spouse may all be saved from emotional trauma if you can avoid a courtroom divorce.

Finally, there is the benefit of working out your own agreement regarding custody, support and property division. Rather than having an Orange County judge decide on these issues for you, you and your spouse can work out agreements that conform to your unique needs and concerns.
