Divorce is common and sometimes inevitable. We understand that a divorce can be very trying both psychologically and financially.

We pride ourselves on helping you to pick up the pieces and begin the process of moving on.
The Divorce Process in Delaware
The divorce process in Delaware starts with one party petitioning for divorce. A majority of divorce proceedings in Delaware happen on paper. Most divorces in Delaware are swift with the exception of a mandatory six-month separation known as the ‘cooling off period’. A divorce petition may not address (much less resolve) peripheral issues such as:
- Property division
- Pre- and antenuptial agreement complications
- Alimony (spousal support)
- Child support
- Child custody and visitation
All other matters are handled in separate hearings which can make the divorce process seem overwhelming. Again, this is where the skill and resources of an experienced Delaware divorce lawyer can help you stay informed regarding the divorce process in Delaware.
A Results-Oriented Approach to Divorce
We strongly believe that most clients are best served when realistic expectations are set regarding property division disputes and other issues. These can be often be resolved via negotiation. However, if this fails litigation may be necessary.
No one wants to be involved in a long, drawn out legal battle. No one wants to have to wonder if their divorce lawyer even remembers their name or case details. No one wants to put undue stress on their children by making them endure long, painful custody battles. We stay focused on the fact that you are not just a case number. We emphasize providing you with a high level of personal service in conjunction with sound, professional legal advice. We also go to great lengths to avoid making an already exhausting ordeal even more so.
