Temecula Divorce Attorney

Deciding to Divorce

Divorce is the legal termination of your marriage.  When you and your spouse decide to end your marriage, you will be faced with many issues related to your individual futures and the future of your children.  When spouses must make decisions to protect their own best interests, it can lead to disputes and heated emotions, which only complicates the decision making process for the parties involved.

Couples who decide to divorce must reach an agreement regarding child custody, child support, spousal support and property distribution.  At Hanson, Gorian & Bradford, we urge spouses to use mediation and a collaborative divorce approach to terminating their marriage. These methods are, normally, much less upsetting than a traditional divorce and can be less costly and time consuming. When you and your spouse can reach a mutual decision without conflict, the divorce is considered uncontested.

It is always advisable for both parties to obtain separate divorce attorneys.  By retaining the services of an experienced Temecula divorce lawyer, you may save yourself a great deal of stress as you will be represented by someone who is protecting your best interests at all times.

Contested Divorce

When spouses cannot reach an agreement and the divorce process leads to further disputes, the divorce is considered contested. This divorce will go to a trial in which both sides will be able to present their respective cases to the court. This is where having a hard-hitting lawyer can help to produce the outcome you desire. When needed, we utilize the tools of discovery and negotiation to settle issues of importance in a contested divorce. We also work aggressively to find all assets in the marriage so that financial matters are resolved in an equitable manner.
