What to Expect in a Contested Divorce
A divorce becomes contested when the spouses cannot agree on one or more issues. These cases usually involve exchanging financial information, gathering evidence, and, if needed, hearings where a judge decides the disputed questions. The issues most often in dispute are the division of property and debts, alimony, and, when there are children, time-sharing and support.

How We Help
We prepare each case carefully, work to protect your interests, and look for opportunities to resolve issues by agreement where that serves you, while being ready to present your position to the court when it does not. Many contested cases still settle before trial.
This is general information about Florida law, not legal advice. How these rules apply depends on the details of your situation. Talking with an attorney is the clearest way to understand what they mean for you.
