Pre-filing assessment
Each divorce matter involves its own factual and legal circumstances. In general, it is important to assess the condition of the marital relationship, possible child custody arrangements, maintenance-related issues, and the legal consequences of the matrimonial property regime before filing.
Uncontested and contested divorce
There are significant procedural differences between uncontested and contested divorce cases in terms of timing, evidence, and the course of proceedings. Pre-filing preparation is important depending on the circumstances.
- Current status of the marriage and the parties' claims
- Custody, visitation and maintenance issues
- Matrimonial property regime and division matters
Every divorce matter must be assessed on its own terms; general information does not replace advice on a specific case.
Clarifying the parties' claims and gathering documents in an orderly manner can help the process move forward more smoothly.
