Who Am I
As a sole practitioner, a family lawyer handles all aspects of their practice, including client consultations, document preparation, negotiation, mediation, litigation, and administrative tasks. I also handle other legal matters outside of family law, depending on their expertise and interests. Working with a family sole practitioner can have some advantages, including: Personalized attention: You can work directly with the lawyer who will handle your case, rather than being passed off to a paralegal or junior associate. Flexibility: Sole practitioners often have more flexibility in their schedules and fees than larger law firms, which can be beneficial for clients with busy schedules or limited budgets. Experience: Sole practitioners often have a wealth of experience and knowledge in their area of expertise, having worked on many cases in their field.

Contested Divorce
In an uncontested divorce, spouses come together in an attempt to civilly negotiate the terms of their separation out of Court. this is not always possible, however, as hot-button issues such as child custody and debt distribution and high net worth asset division can cause tensions to flare and make it difficult for divorcing spouses to see eye to eye.
Once both sides have had a change to present their arguments, a judge will issue a final decision that is enforceable by law. Either spouses can seek a modification to this order after a certain amount of time has passed or in the event of a considerable change in circumstances from the time the order was first issued.
