When a marriage ends, decisions about your home, finances and children can overlap. Roberts & Reiter represents clients in contested and uncontested divorce matters. We help you identify the issues that need attention and prepare for the conversations ahead.
Put the full picture on the table
Even when spouses agree to divorce, they may still need to address property, debts, support and parenting arrangements. Start by separating what you agree on from what remains unresolved. An attorney can help you understand how those pieces fit together before you commit to a settlement.
How we can help
- Filing or responding to a petition for dissolution of marriage
- Conducting discovery of assets, liabilities and income
- Addressing property, support and parenting issues together
- Negotiating and reviewing marital settlement agreements
- Preparing for family law litigation when issues remain disputed
Preparing for a consultation
You do not need to send records to get in touch. For a consultation, it may help to have:
- A timeline of the marriage and any pending proceedings
- A general list of property, debts, income and retirement accounts
- Existing agreements or orders and any known court dates
Keep sensitive documents out of the website form. Ask the office what to bring and how to share it securely. If you have a court date or response deadline, call the office rather than relying on an online message.
What if we already agree on the terms?
An agreement is a starting point for a legal review. Discuss whether it addresses all relevant issues and what steps are needed to formalize it. Do not assume a conversation or an informal document completes the divorce process.
General information, not legal advice. The appropriate approach depends on current law and your individual circumstances.
