Contested Divorce: Your divorce is “Contested” if there is any issue that is not agreed to. Most contested divorces are resolved at mediation. However, if the parties do not reach agreement the final decision on all property and children issues will be made by the Judge after a trial that includes presenting witnesses and exhibits to the Judge so he or she fully understands the situation. Although we prefer to settle cases without a trial, at GGLC we understand and efficiently prepare for a Divorce trial if it is necessary.
Other Family Law Matters: Sometimes it is necessary to address other family matters through the courts. These may include, paternity actions to establish a father’s rights, child support obligations and, of course, visitation and custody. Unfortunately parents and children sometimes have to deal with the Department of Children and Family Services through “Dependency” or “Delinquency” Proceedings. At GGLC we will assist you with all these troubling problems.
