A contested divorce is any divorce in which the married couple cannot agree upon the major issues that are present when people get divorced. This can include, but is not limited to, the division of assets, child custody, child support, alimony, and more. While many divorces begin as contested divorces, the goal is to ultimately reach agreements on all issues large and small. Having an experienced attorney on your side can be a tremendous help here — they will be able to advocate on your behalf and they can help guide you towards making decisions that are as beneficial to you as possible.
