Allendale Divorce Representation

Going through a divorce (also referred to as a dissolution of marriage) can be very complex and frightening. The emotional stress of the loss of a relationship, coupled with the possibility of an unpleasant trial in court and the unknown fate of your future, can feel overwhelming. Our entire staff is dedicated to vigorously standing up for our clients and protecting their rights throughout the course of a divorce.
From a legal standpoint, the divorce process will divide the couple's assets and debts; determine the future care and custody of their children; and give each person the legal right to marry someone else. Every state has some form of "no-fault divorce," but the laws vary a great deal from state to state. Generally, a divorce will be granted if one spouse states that the marriage has irretrievably broken down or the couple has irreconcilable differences.
If both spouses can agree on child custody, child support, spousal support, property and debt division, visitation and parenting time, then the divorce is uncontested. If you and your spouse cannot reach an agreement on these issues, contact an experienced attorney from Bailey Smith & Bailey, P.C. From complex marital estates to post-judgement issues, we are committed to representing all clients with integrity, addressing their divorce issues as efficiently and effectively as possible.
