Should you contest a divorce?

Contesting a divorce can extend the timeline, allowing more time to present your perspective and negotiate terms. It may be beneficial if you need to explain complex personal situations or dispute claims. However, it often increases legal costs and emotional stress. Consulting multiple firms helps understand options.

Why is moving out the biggest mistake in a divorce?

After you file your counterclaim, a copy of the counterclaim must be delivered to each counterdefendant. This is called service of process. The court applies the same rules to serving a counterclaim as it applies to serving the initial Small Claims Complaint.

Who loses more financially in a divorce?

Research shows that divorce hits women far harder financially than it does men. The United States Government Accountability Offices Special Report to the Senate released a study showing that a womans household income plummets by an average of 41% after a divorce.

How successful are divorce appeals?

The reversal rate or winning an appeal in a family law case has been reported between 20% and 50% depending on the source and type of family law case. It can be tough to win an appeal, as judges will start from the assumption that the original ruling was correct when looking at your case.
