Litigation

In a traditional adversarial divorce, both parties retain lawyers who engage in a formal discovery process which can include subpoenas, document requests, and depositions. Attorneys prepare for trial, gathering evidence based on the history of your marriage, and the details of your particular circumstances. Many times, divorce litigation attorneys can reach a settlement on behalf of their clients, but if that doesn’t happen, a judge will hear the evidence and make the decisions for you.
