Going through a divorce is a process that is fraught with emotional highs and lows so we will let you, the person who is going through this transition, to tell us how you want us to define our process.
Our objective at the end of this process is to put you in the best possible position while creating the best glide path going forward. However, there are two situations that can impact or slow down this process:
1) The complexity of your situation
2) Your relationship of cooperation or lack thereof, with the other parties involved.
In order to bring about cooperation with an adversarial party who is part of the divorce case is to outline a strategy that is in the best interest of all the parties. To do this we will collect facts from a variety of sources, including: you, your divorcing partner or their attorney, and the government to gauge what level of cooperation we can expect.It’s nice if they do cooperate but not entirely essential. We like to refer to the carrot and the stick analogy. Our first objective is to be diplomatic but if that doesn’t work then we always have the option of swinging the stick.
Once we know more about the level of cooperation we can expect, we meet with you to discuss a plan so that with our guidance, you can then make a decision on how you want us to proceed with your matter.
