how long will it take you to get to

a divorce judgment

that depends on

how well you are able to resolve the

questions that arise from the breakup of

the marriage

with your spouse

if there’s mutual respect

and a view that you want to keep your

legal fees to a minimum

each party should sit down

when the right time exists

and talk about the reality of

how do we see

parenting time with our children how do

we see dividing up the bank and

investment accounts in the retirement

accounts how do we see dividing up the

our collection

what kind of spousal support if any

will be paid from one party to the other

and for how long

will there be child support paid

between the parties

if you go to court and you have the

lawyers

make arguments

about why

you should pay more or less or keep more

or keep less

you’re guaranteed to have a much longer

divorce process

and a more expensive divorce process

than if you sat down

and even if it’s with the assistance of

lawyers

but not go to court so that you’re

making those right decisions amongst

yourselves but in an educated manner

if you do it that way

you can be done in three to six months

easily

at a much lower cost

than if you were to go out and fight for

every

thing that ever happened to you during

the marriage that was unfair

and you’ll save yourself a whole lot of

money in doing so
